Baby Dress, Doodlewash and Collage Book

 I've been sewing this week, I made this little dress for my Granddaughter who will be one next month

I used one of my own designs for fabric and had it printed at Spoonflower. The original design was was on a small scale as you can see in the small sample below. I increased the scale when I entered a competition so that the pattern shows up better. But I forgot to reduce the scale again before I ordered the fabric so Joanie has giant ladybirds on her dress.

This is a little book handcrafted [not by me] from the leaves of the waru tree and bound with cinnamon.

I decided that it wouldn't be great for painting in so I have used it for collage.

I've used my gelli prints, ink jet prints, painted and stamped papers.

I'm working in an altered book, the pages are painted with gesso.

My favourite of the workshops so far is this one 'how wild is your garden? ' with Karen Stamper

We played around with lots of different media and got really messy, great fun!
