Going back to my fabric roots

A Fabric book started in Tracy Bautista's class at

Art Uraveled. The title is "Girly Girl" and

it will be a future gift for a friend.

The binding is stab stitched

Inside Cover and page 2. The inside cover is fabric and the pink is colored paper towels, which Traci is famous for. Page 2 is Watercolor paper

Page 3 and 4, page 4 is mulberry
paper from Japan (thanx Jan!)


Page 5 and 6 is some leaf paper that I have had for years




Page 7 and the inside back cover (page 7 is watercolor paper)

Back cover

Hopefully, after working in fabric for a few days,

I will be able to return to my journals.

Only time will tell.

Almost finished an old fabric book

DESPERATE for inspiration, I went through some
of my "stuff". I have been totally blocked by the
idea of working on my Egypt journal.

This fabric book was dedicated to Viggo Mortenson.

It was started at Art Unraveled (2005??)

in a class taught by the multi-talented

Lisa Englebrecht.

It was in a plastic bag, in pieces.

This is the cover, with a large "V" for Viggo

(the only completed page in the book)

Page 1 and 2. Page 2 got blemished when I

fused the picture to the page, I had forgotten

that is was floated on the backing.

Page 3 and 4. The caption on page 4 reads

" I didn't have friends when I was little...

I learned to rely on myself" and I added

"I will be your friend!" in purple.

Page 5 and 6, not finished yet, but the red and

gold page has machine and hand stitching. More

to come on these two pages. Page 7 and 8, page 7 is sparse, so more will probably

be done. I like page 8, which is painted canvas

in earthy tones and jagged edges.

My favorite - the last two pages.

Hopefully this will open the log jam!
