Finished - Monochrome Handmade Book

The monochrome book completed. 
It is a concertina style book. All the pages have been stitched together back to back with a layer of interfacing in the middle and joined one to another.
All the pages are 4" x 4", mixed media - such as paint, stamped, embroidery, stitched, found objects, collage.

There are ribbons either side to keep it together when not in use.

I decided to stitch clear plastic on the outer pages with the machine but the but it puckered up a little.




I tried hand sewing the plastic on the front but it still puckered and looks untidy, quite difficult to do with it being made up. I was going to leave it without plastic but the M bead came off, it was in my bag and I caught it on something. The beads stick out a bit I thought it may be more secure with the plastic on.

Monochrome Book WIP

This collection of tiny pages is for my latest mixed media art book. The colour? as you can see is monochrome and the size of the work was inspired by a project by Jane Davies. It is a 4"x 4" x 400 project and you can read more about it on her blog here.







I have already made up the book, the page above on the left was not included as the background is felt rather than paper  - it wouldn't behave when I was sewing the book together.
More pages to follow and of course the finished book when I've taken photos of it.
