Yesterday it felt so good to create without the pressure - just for me. I found some cheesecloth at a hardware store the day before Christmas Eve (Christmas Eve Eve ?) and it inspired me to make a cover for this book I made filled with cardstock paper.
For the front cover I stitched two pieces of cloth together - one of which is a piece of muslin I had painted and the other commercial fabric picked up at a yard sale. The inside cover (above right) is watercolor paint over cheesecloth, which left a beautiful texture. I still have tidbits I want to add - maybe some text... And I look forward to filling the pages.
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Well done, I long to make a book of my own, I just never seem to get round to it... Hope the new year gives me the opportunity. Your book is very inspiring.
Merry Christmas! Your book is very colorful and creative! Love how you used the fabric.
