Fabric Book Completed

Last Page...Anne Boleyn



I say completed but will put some beads and more ribbons on the spine later.......
I was sorry i used my Bind it all machine for this,I have to think it through more,I thought this way would work but not happy with it,although it will do.
I wanted to do more pages but the size of the wires wouldnt allow,i did the pages back to back too,its worked out quite thick........never mind its all a learning curve lol

Frida Kahlo

Mexican Painter Frida_Kahlo..here
Another page for my book of my favorite Woman
I tried to make this one colourful like her paintings

Queen Victoria Page

Another page hot off the press lol,i,m on a roll with these.

Background fabric is a baby wipe dye'd turquoise/green,waste not want not lol,and just the usual embellishments,I coloured the dots with promarkers.

I rather like this image of Queen Victoria,not as pretty as her, in the film "The Young Victoria"... lovely movie.

Elizabeth 1 ....Page1

Page 1 of my Fabric Book "Ladies in History"

Another page completed last night I,m using Tyvek Paper for the images,considering my printer says its out of ink these images are brilliant.

Really enjoying this project,cant wait to start on the next page lol,I,m on a high !!

My photograph is not that good,bit dark on the left side.

Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette.(loveee this image)
Fabric Book Cover,title will be "Ladies of History"

I know this is going to take me ages,i wanted something to get my teeth into,this is a start,each page will be fabric and depict a lady from the past,its something i can dip in and out of between other stuff,as long as my mojo stays with me i,ll be ok lol.

I have enjoyed dyeing the fabrics,lace ,matching up bits colourwise,and sewing,also colouring the buttons with alcohol inks and using things from my stash.little bit of fabric paper here and there !...........now to get this ink off my hands :-]

This weeks work.........not work a pleasure lol

My Daughter in Law Karen took me to the Laura Ashley shop last sunday,she treated me to some Fabric remnants so i covered a large sketch book for her,keeps me occupied :-]

The smaller one is Fabric Paper,"Post It" notepad,for my other daughter in Law Holly who's into crafting as well but not made any Fabric Paper, she loves making cards.
I was going to make one Sherry suggested here but got sidetracked as usual.

Then with the odds and ends i made two ATC's for a friend.I ought to make more ATC's as i have a huge box of bits and pieces to use up,that should be fun lol.

My Sons Birthday Card

A couple of weeks ago I bought QVC,s Todays Special Value, which was Tim Holtz Book "A Compendium of Curiosities" and a collection of his crafting materials,just couldnt resist,his work is awesome,He was over from the States to appear on QVC ,it was great to watch the master at work .......so today i had a play,working from his book the waterstamping technique ,it didnt quite come out like his haha,but looked ok so thought i would make my samples into a card for my son, his birthdays next month,its always hard to do a mans card,Gary's into birds at the moment :-] so hope it works !

I used some stamps i had free with my subscription of Craft Stamper,I think the pocket watch was a freebee on that magazine as well.Quite enjoyed using paper instead of fabric for a change lol.
