a little book

(  ಠ_ಠ takes a while to format. blogger is getting less user friendly with the improvements. sigh)

the covers  fun with fabric and paints.the photos are not up to par- sorry! all the glitter and gilding

does not photograph well with natural light and too lazy to set up the lights. so bear with me.

this little booklet had been in process for an embarrassing while. i am happy to have finally finished it.

 the pages:

handwoven silk fabric sample.the warp started breaking after a while  even  after applying sizing.

it was cut and whatever had been woven was saved for better times.

hand  stitching and embellishing.the meshes were made by stitching on solvy , dissolving it and then painting and embellishing. i tend to produce surfaces and save them for future assemblages.

there's also angelina fiber- which is a trial to photograph- on the last page. i had to angle the book to be able to get an other than white splotch.

acts of discipline

giving course to the amounts of knit and ai samples.

the one on the left is a double knit cotton and copper wire with brass patina. the cotton knit was treated with paints an  finally puff paint was added for some relief texture.
after such baroqueness the one on the right looks rather plain and straightforward. perhaps i should add more hand stitching to the rust marks..
more along the week

as an aside i am waiting to see if my body stabilises to do some sewing. ever since i came back from the camino walk i've kept the discipline of walking everyday for an hour. i am already down to 61 kgs. if i get to 59 i'll be thrilled. if i get to 56 i can start wearing my clothes again. the skirt i wove and sewed last year falls off my hips, have to take it in. but i am not complaining at all. the meds are also doing their thing.

to me the re blooming is an overkill, but that's just me.

enjoy your  fall weekend.
