In the meantime I have been working on my next costume but it is taking rather longer than I anticipated. Just for a change today I started another project....
You may be like me and have a huge box (or as I have several boxes) of off cuts from previous projects, scraps and general oddments, well today I decided I would start the creation of a 'Texture' Book - so I closed my eyes and grabbed a handful of stuff from one of these boxes.
I just randomly machined odd bits to pelmet vilene and have been happily painting the surfaces using up old pots of paint, white emulsion, silk paints and generally any other oddments of paint. This is a sample of the first set of backgrounds - loads of more work to do to each one when they are dry - will show you when I am done!!. For now I will show you a 'before' - just stitched and an 'after' - painted of the first few pages... (please remember these pics are taken with my phone - I should get my camera back next weekend, fingers crossed!!)

Sorry that you haven't been well Anna--but you seem to have been able to do some good samples so things must be on the mend now.
Happy Easter Anna
lovely work in progress
Get well soon
Looks like you've had fun playing with these samples. Hope you get better soon. x
Very interesting beginnings Anna. Hope your health problems are sorted soon and are not serious.
Hiya, indeed Happy Easter. Hope you are quite well now. It is nice to dip into a bag of stuff and make something of it. Love them all.
So sorry to hear you've been ill, I hope you get better soon.
Lovely to see your transformations, I shall look forward to seeing more :-)
Your pages look great so far Anna - look forward to seeing them when you've 'worked' them a bit more!
How are you going to put the book together?
