"Fabric Photo Memories" - New book for Lovey Johnson

Fabric Photo Memories

is a brand new book

by

Lovey Johnson

It is a collection of collages of African American women

from the 1700's through to the early 1900's.

It is one woman's true labour of love and commitment

to the art of creating fabric photo collages.

In her artwork Lovey utilizes many beautiful textured

fabrics, laces, trims, jewellery and photos

to present an exquisite presentation of

Collages.

This book is full of the most beautiful photos which Lovey has compiled

and

she offers the readers many very useful tips and tutorials to help and inspire!

 

Let us all love and support another artist pave her way to success by

purchasing a copy of her book through:

http://www.magcloud.com/
A digital version is also available.

Congratulations Lovey! We all wish you the very best
with this new venture!

A Look at a Journal Page and Hydrangeas

Now that the OWOH Event is over it is time to catch up on

some other things which I am passionate about

but before doing so

I would just like to say a wonderfully big

Thank you so much

for all the amazing comments I received during the past 2 weeks

plus

all the many people who have decided to follow me -

I am truely humbled!!!

So now for some garden pleasures and a peep at a couple of pages I am working on for my

new Fabric Altered Journal.

It is coming to the end of Summer here in Australia and we are starting to see a change

in the colours of the hydrangeas

These have just been picked today!

The pinks are taking on a greenish/pinkish hue.

Don't these look stunning!

And after they have been left to dry in the vase for a couple of weeks

they end up looking more like this!

WOW! WOW! WOW!

Just so soft, papery and dreamy.

I notice also that June at Laughing with Angels Blog

currently has the most gorgeous images of

her dried Hydrangeas too so go and check out her blog.

Have a Wonderful Sunday.

Love, Suzy

What's on My Table

I was just so impressed, excited and taken by

Nellie Wortman's

Altered Fabric Book Workshop

that I decided to register into her on-line class

so that I could learn some new techniques in binding a fabric journal.

This entails a total number of 60 pages (if that is what you choose )

to create on.

Even though the past week has been full on with the

One World One Heart event

I have really enjoyed putting together a number of pages

which are still very much in the planning stages

with the trusty wooden pegs keeping it all in some

sort of order.

It so much reminds me of Pandora's Box

that I think that is what it shall be called.

A few glimpses here lets you into some of what

shall be revealed

soon!

Wishing you all a wonderful week!
