A bit of this, a bit of that....

Homemade little sketch book made from tracker bar boxes and covered with different pieces of recycled paper.

A peek inside.

Oooo and here's another peek inside, a funky bird owl.

First attempt at Basket weaving.

Fabric postcard for my niece Paige.

I thought I'd show you my homemade little sketchbook I made as part of the book binding brief in uni. We had to make three books, one traditional and two non-traditional book. We then had to chose one of the non-traditional and use it as a personal sketchbook.  I made this little book from the empty boxes of tracker bars. The signature are all made using my handmade papers and recycled papers and envelopes. I have picked random pages and added stamps, doodles and little quirky illustrations. I am looking forward to continuing to add to this as the months pass. Yesterday we had a tutorial on basket making. Mine started off fine but then it kind of took on a life of its own and caused a ripple of laughter through out the group.  Today I have made two fabric post cards in between house work. One for Mary my FMQ partner on FB and this little lady for my niece Paige. I think this is one of my favourite fabric post cards I've ever made. I hope she likes it to.
