Fat Book Pages


The first pages inside the fat book. If you've been following my blog you may have seen some of the items on these pages, for instance on the left page above is one of the tast challenges [133] and a piece of clay work on the right. Both background pages have been hand painted/printed, have organza layers and painted lace.


The next two pages are also hand printed/painted. More clay on the left under plastic netting and on top of organza and hand made paper. On the right is another Tast challenge [129].

New Fabric Book



I didn't know what to call this book but as it is the fattest one I've ever done I thought I would go with fat book. I don't think I would do one this fat again.... .the first cover I did for it didn't work out too well. I used my old trusty rolling stamps on the fabric below.
