A collection of images that inspire me, the textile work I enjoy making and links to things I have enjoyed. Please don't copy any of my photos since I am careful only to show work which is my own. Thank you.

Book construction and bead soup.
The book is a series of parts at the moment. This is part of the collection of pages I got through the Traveling Pages Textile Book Page swap. You can see more about the whole project here.
I love the texture of the different pages and the way their edges have been finished.
Here is the bead soup. Not sure how I shall use these beads yet.
The last collection of materials are these ribbons. I'm not entirely sure how to use these yet. I do have an idea of weaving these around the uprights I am using as the "spine" of my book. However, it remains to be seen whether this will work or not.
I am adding these uprights to each of the pages. They will form the "spine" of my book.
You can see a little more here. This is the front page. The back page looks exactly the same - well, as nearly as I could make it. If you would like to read more about how the page was constructed, please read more here.
There are just two more pages to go and then I can sort out the spine and get weaving - literally.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I had a lot of fun putting the book together.
