For a long time I had wanted to make a book around this poem for my daughter, and as its coming up to her birthday I thought it would be perfect timing, the book however just didn't come along how I had planned it, too many techniques, ideas, colours and none of them really flowing. In the end, it turned out to be more of a booklet. Covers are painted cotton duck with stitched detail and embellishments, swan feathers and a brass etching, the insides are a painted photo of a robbin and a canvas painted with acrylic paints, image transfer and some oil sticks. Fingers crossed she will like it :0))))
Ohhhhhh goodness, I'm in textile heaven, and what a 'booklet' to treasure forever. Beautiful...I bet its one of those things where you keep on turning the pages again and again watching the fabric pages gently fall.Stunning.
