"Nature's Wings" Completed!

It's always very satisfying to complete another
project and especially so when 
someone puts up their hand to purchase it!


 



 




A rusted washer gets added to the closure
tied with sari and velvet ribbons!

 




 

Pages filled with scraps of fabric and paper 
stamped with the inclusion of
bird adages!


 


torn paper, embroidered net
 

 


hand stitched layered scrim, lace and paper
 

 


insects and buterflies around flora and fauna
 

 


 all culminating
in this stack of pages!

 

Thank you dear readers for visiting and commenting
so kindly as you do - I hope these pages
inspire you too!
Happy weekend to everyone wherever you are!

"Nature's Wings"

I'm still enjoying the process
of creating small books
using many different fabrics, textures, images
and precious words to accompany my latest
creation called "Nature's Wings"! 

 


 This is the proposed cover with additions still to be 
added
like
some inspirational words which
 our winged friends
represent to us! 


I have used several layers of soft felts, laces
and papers gessoed, painted and glued


with defining hand stitches. 

This process appeals to me so much
as it allows the words to form in my mind as I stitch!

 


The stacked pages ready to be bound together to 
represent another interpretation of
what these little winged beings flying around us
mean to each one of us!

Anyone wishing to learn my book making
techniques may enrol into my on-line workshop at:

This is a very extensive and detailed class to follow
with no end date - so you can enjoy it all
at your own leisure! 

Enjoy my friends!
