Continuing the ''artist book'' obsession...yesterday I stitched a few papers together. I will hand embroider on some of this paper, maybe adding pom poms or buttons or sequins too. Small pieces will also be used, torn...to edge a page or form another different and interesting page. (that implies the other pages will be boring...oops...they won't be)
I keep my ''artist book'' bits and pieces, samples, stitched bits, papers, pages etc in a tall cabinet. Because these little bits are mounting up I tidied the cabinet earlier this week and found quite a big stash of hand embroidered fastenings, buttons, toggles etc. That made the tidying all the more satisfying.
