Page upon page of hand worked embroidery samples.
This piece has been in progress for quite some time.
In truth I could have gone on forever but I decided to finish this one and start another.
To give you an idea of the size of this, the front cover measures 11x22 inches.
There is a more detailed look at each page in the short video below.
Yesterday I mentioned that three of the large cards weren't yet finished.
They are finished now, a little texture has been added using the 'pin pricking' technique before tiny snippets of fabric have been attached using a single bead and a single sequin.
There are also six tiny 'reference' tags which I stitched last night.
There will be more of those.
Pleated trim with added patterned fabric, again secured with a single sequin and a tiny bead.
Next up? I'm not quite sure.
Watch this space.
Just a quick hello today, don't want you thinking I'm asleep.
I'm playing with paper, collage and stitch. There are plans to introduce some of my new fabric to these.
(the pieces on the right are the new ones)
Patchwork, hexagons, stash. All relevant here.
In this post I was stitching hexagons, building a stash.
Those pieces will be used in artist books or as surface embellishments on embroidered pieces.
Today it's another use for patchwork, specifically hexagons.
Page keepers for artist books, closing sleeves for artist books.
The first image below shows an unfinished page keep alongside 2 completed pieces.
In the other images today you can see those in use.
For me, these pieces 'complete' the process of creating an artist book.
