I'm deleting lots of my twenty-eight thousand pictures and posting as I come across them...
so these are pictures of a book which I made for a friend's birthday last summer...
I worked on a gift for her the previous Christmas, using her initials - but my idea didn't take hold.
So...when it was time for her birthday, I pulled out my thwarted attempt from Christmas...
And made a book...
I drew a sort of zentangle on fabric with her initials back in December...
And cut the letters up into book size pieces...
And then free motion stitched inside -
Then added...
All sorts of ephemera...
And stamping...
paint...
more stitching...
and stuff...
And that's The End.
This is so pretty! I really like the different elements you have added to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she loved the book cover!! Good luck with the deleting.
ReplyDeleteWill be watching for all your interesting offerings.
It's beautiful! You can tell it was a labor of love!
ReplyDelete--Thanks Ann!
ReplyDelete--Thank you too Scatter! I'm into another project in the playroom for the next couple days. Sorting junk jewelry. Woo Hoo. I may have to blog some of my favorite pieces.
--Thanks Robin!
What a wonderful gift. I love your zen-stitching. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you waggonswest! I'm in love with free motion stitching!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'd become your friend just to get a book like that. ;-) (It would make me a very calculating friend with a hidden agenda, but still...)
ReplyDeleteWonderful work!
You're too funny! Thanks so much because coming from you...i consider this a great compliment!
