This week I have been able to continue working on the covered books.
The first one started with a piece of fabric that I used to soak up excess dyes. I really liked the mottled pastel color and added the four borders.
Next step was to fuse the design and add some threadwork…..
Here is the finished product…….
The next book started by going through a box of orphan blocks (those that were made but not used in a project). I found a small hand painted design that I have NO idea where it came from.
I started by adding yellow borders and was just going to put another border around the edge. Then I thought BORING!!!!!! so, I started angling the strips instead…..
Every so often, I would place a cut out design that is the same size as the book cover it to see how it was looking.
Here is the finished product……
One thought on “Books Number 4 and 5 ….only 3 more to go”
Your book covers are wonderful! They are going to make great gifts.
