A couple of pieces I managed to finish last night. One is the final overlay for a book we will soon be putting together in artist book class, the other a little sampling I have done on paper with the beaded silk I bought in London.
The overlay now has a sequined edge to accompany the seam of buttons I added last week. This as I said is the final piece we were waiting for in class and now that particular artist book can be put together . We will be doing that in a couple of weeks and as soon as it's done I will share that with you here.
(these pieces, here, here and here were created in our artist book class. It's not too late for you to join us and get access to everything from day one.)
The beaded silk I bought in London is taking over my life or so it would seem. It's featuring on the handkerchiefs you have seen over the past week and here it is again on the first page of what I hope will become a little ledger devoted entirely to this cloth. I purchased 10 cm x 60 cm....not much at all. The test will be how far I can stretch it. I guess it's so ornate and beautiful I only need to use tiny pieces and it will still stand out.
