Sometimes I have piles of little experiments with no place to go. I practice stamping a design I have carved on a piece of scrap fabric, I try out a stitching pattern, I do a tiny little collage, I have a leftover quilt patch, or I just layer a few things and run them through the sewing machine because I like the combination of colours and textures. Eventually I have a little pile of little designs, and as it is my penchant to make little books and journals, I then created this fabric journal.
The cover is a butterfly I painted on Lutradur (like a very thick dryer sheet) then stitched and embroidered to fabric, adding beads and more paint. It is attached to an old piece of a lace collar from the 1980's, and a piece of Asian fabric I started to make a bag with but never finished. The rest of the book is like a little sampler of fiber art experiments. Enjoy.
