Handmade Book





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!
