instant book

It's really exciting turning fabric samples, remnants or plain ugly dyed fabrics into books. Right now i'm mesmerized by accordion books and all the possibilities.i've been using some image transfers with a double purpose; as embellishment and also to give a bit more body to the book. Lots of stitching, trying to have it do a narrative. Lots of stamping too.Go to my flickr for detailed views.

This weekend will definitely be studio weekend.
i'm trying to put together another accordion book, this one with a cover. It has finally cooled off and i'm weaving like a fiend. At last!
