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...
