stitching, drawing and dyeing

WIPs in the studio are all I have

to show you

right now...

lots of pieces are coming together...

paint splattered freezer paper..

below...

eventually it will be a book of feathers...

feather drawings...

are being stitched as well

and cloth feathers will

be collaged, so it will be

different.....

but that is all I really know right now...

and onion dyed khadi papers...

are all coming together 

in a hand stitched book..

I have already stitched the signatures in the book and 

below the fabric that I dyed for the cover of the book..

to cover the stitches..

even when I finish this piece

you won't be seeing the 

finished book for quite a while...

because it is 

my new project that I am submitting to Sew Somerset...

and the fabric is waiting to adorn the cover....

but 

I thought you would like to see the elements...
the rich textures and contrast...

and I am having fun putting it all together...

and creating feathers...

the symbol of ascension..

and thank you for stopping by
the sweet life... as always I am so 
grateful to you for your comments 
dear readers...
