Mini Book and Cover

Here's a picture of my latest project from Maggie Grey's online lesson, just finished today. The little book can hang as a handbag charm or on a pair of jeans and slips inside the sleeve for storage. The sleeve is made from a matchbox. The colours haven't come out very well, the sleeve is dark gold and iridescent green.

Below is the latest page in my altered book made from a leaf stamp and puff paint. Only two more to go and it is complete.

Altered Book

This is the latest project working through Maggie Grey's online workshops - lesson two covers altered books. See my earlier post here for more information. I have completed 4 pages and I think it needs about 4 or 5 more to be complete. It is quite a small book - a little larger than a postcard but very fat. I have been using various paints to decorate the pages and adding bits and pieces such as unfinished samples. Some of the pages are machine stitched but this proved a bit fiddly on a small book.



Not so sure about the page above so this may change.

A little sample of free peyote stitch that has similar colours to the feather. Next step is to tackle the book cover.
