Fabric Lace book - Round robin

I am currently creating pages for a Round Robin
Vintage Fabric Lacebook collaborative 
with 5 other women all within the U.S.
and myself, here in Australia.

The Themes include:
A Stitch in Time
A Young Woman in Paris
Victorian Couples
Mary Madonna
The Jazz Era of the 1920s
and
Vintage Gypsy

The requirements for this Lacebook include:
Front and Back covers
Inside covers and Two extra pages
which will be passed around on a rotation basis to each person.

My pages have already now left for Palm Springs and as my theme is
"Vintage Gypsy"
I thought I might share my contribution:

Front page


Inside Cover Front Page




Image here is covered with organza.

Back Cover




Inside Back Cover



And my two Separate Pages within the book
include:










The Round Robin Fabric Lacebooks will be with each person for one month
so I am hoping that
I shall receive my "Vintage Gypsies" back here in about
6 months time
when I will assemble all the pages and covers etc.
for you to peruse!

It is so lovely to see so many new comers to my blog
and I thank you so much for all your kind words
and thoughts
and I wish you 
much inspiration to share with others!
xxx Suzy

  1. It's all great! The part that grabbed me was the way you used the bit of lace to frame the picture. So cool!

  2. Your front and back covers are gorgeous and will be a wonderful inspiration for your round robin partners. Your fabric stash is really amazing and you always have such a great eye for matching colors. Have a lot of fun working on the other books. I especially love that Paris theme - who would have guessed ;-).
    Have a wonderful week, my dear Suzy!
    Big hugs and warmest wishes,
    Julia

  40. I have never seen anything as beautiful as this...

  41. this is beautiful and unique work.
    every page must be hours from work, and so many different elements and layers.
    i like the idea from the covered image with organza.
    i will try this too.
    have a nice week

  42. Wow...those are incredible pieces of art. You are very talented and obviously put a lot of work into getting all those details just right. Nice to meet a fellow goat enthusiast on here, especially one with angoras similar to our little pygoras. We are excited about the knitting and are anxious to learn to spin as well. We have a local group called the River Cities Fiber Clan that is going to help us get started on that adventure. Thank you for the warm welcome to the blogging world. We will be following and look forward to see the results of your round robin adventure. Being a blogger just seems to keep getting better and better.

  44. Suzy,
    Oh that is beautiful! Every page...my favorite it the last picture. I love how you outlined her cape with the stitching. I am doing a round robin too & it's such fun. I cannot wait to see my completed book. I look forward to seeing more of your swap & the others pages.

    PS
    When printing on organza, do just make your own sheet by cutting yardage & running it thru the printer like muslin, or do you buy the ready made sheets? I bought some from Interweave & like the product, just very expensive

    There are certain artists whose work I come across and they inspire me in so many ways, one of which is to make the promise to myself to get better and better at what I am trying to achieve. I am mainly a paper artist but most certainly drawn to fabric and aspire to working with it more often but still slightly intimidated by it.
    In awe of the beauty you continually create.
    Wishes

  47. What a great colour combination, purple and green for the front cover, one of my favourites. What a super book, it'll be so interesting to see how the other artists interpret your theme x
