Last month I finally got round to completing a fold book structure for the printed and embroidered floral images I had been working on. (Larger images of the individual florals can be found in January and February posts.)
The cover is made from old sheeting, printed, painted, machine and hand-stitched.
A couple of recent Victorian puzzle purses. Not really complicated, but I still manage to get in a muddle with the final round of folds. These were made from sheets of painted A3 copier paper, cut down to approx. 10.5” square for the main structure.
A recently completed fabric pot using a patchwork of fabrics eco-dyed with leaves (brown tones) and avocado skins and stones (pink/rust colours), handstitched and embroidered. Size 3.5" tall, diameter approx. 3.25". Three views are shown as my attempt to video the vessel while turning it round was decidedly jerky!
Three more embroideries to add to the collection (the passion flower image has been duplicated but in a slightly different colour).
Some small embroideries which have kept me occupied over the dark winter nights.
These are approximately 4" x 5", lino prints on painted calico and hand embroidered. These may be combined to make a wall hanging or perhaps another fabric book.
