I've been making small embroidered pieces. Suddenly they became a story! This is a picture of them all, but not in proper story order:
The story is about an old donkey, and the book will be 16 pages long...all of which will be printed on both sides of one sheet of paper. Each page has a bit of text plus a photo of one of the embroideries. Because I spent years and years exploring photoshop, I put some of those skills to work on this Very Small Book. It has taken quite awhile to figure out how to do this, but we're getting close! More will be revealed soon.
Meanwhile, my wonderful tea towel collection has expanded:
And here is Miss Gilly, showcasing her lovely snout!
And that's all for now, but I will be back soon. xo, s.
love the idea of your book, can't wait to see how you put it all together.
ReplyDeleteHi Jean, have to finish soon as grandsons' birthdays are coming right up, and I promised! Off now to work on the cover...
ReplyDeleteThat will be a lovely book with your own embroidery in it as illustration !
ReplyDeleteHmmmm love the look of Ms Gilly ;-)
Hi Els, this has been a project of long duration! Just printed up the first two for the grandsons!
DeleteGilly is so photogenic sometimes, but she doesn't always like that sort of attention...she would often rather nuzzle or play tug...
i can't wait to see this book!
ReplyDeleteSoon, soon!!!
DeleteThese are wonderful, what a sweet book they will make!
ReplyDeleteIt is almost done! Actually, the first two are printed, for the grandboys...what a process it's been. Glad you stopped by!
Deletecan't wait to see the book! and 'wow' to those hand woven tea towels
ReplyDeleteHi Saskia, it's almost ready, but I think I'll always want to be making changes...have to stop somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHandwoven fabric is so grounding somehow...
