It has been a real busy week and time has just flew by. I was getting my bag ready for Uni tomorrow and decided to take time out and decorate the cover of sketch book number one. A few days ago I bought a pair of pumps from Primark and the brown paper bag that they came in has been lying on the floor in my sewing room. When I decided to decorate the front of my sketch book this morning I picked up the brown paper and bag and decided it needed to be ripped into strips and it became the basis for my collage. I added masking tape, again roughly torn into strips, a bit of coloured paper and began to randomly stick the pieces to the front of the sketch book. Nothing was planned and I used whatever was to hand. I even had some little left over threads on my desk from the current stitch along I am doing with Homespun Magazine. I added some stamped images and the text Imagine, Wonder and Dream is a lovely strip of cloth. I am really pleased with the end result as I am not very confident when it comes to collage. I hope I will make the inside just as interesting as the front cover and it invites people to want to take a peek inside.
