Gorgeous Pauline, so pretty and timeless.

Me do a card x

Oh wow!!!! Pauline, beautiful, thank you!!!!

Dawn what on earth are you doing on here at stupid o'clock in the morning

I've made a little sketchbook.... the photo will give you an idea of the size.





A little while ago I had a pile of tiny strips left over from another project which I just pushed to one side of my desk at the time meaning to bin them later.
Then, this week's theme of weaving came up and I decided to use them instead of tossing them. So I started to weave them and ended up with this.


Using the size of the finished weave as a guide I cut 10 pieces of white sketching paper and 1 piece of kraft card to a suitable size.
I folded the card in half and re opened it to give me a guide and laying it on top of the white paper stapled the whole lot together.


Once that was done I folded the whole thing to make a little book and trimmed off the edges to neaten everything with a craft knife and ruler.
I added a strip of double sided tape around the book and attached a flat piece of ribbon to the cover to create a tie to keep the book closed.


Over this I glued the woven piece of card.


When that was dry I swiped the archival ink over the whole book to add some colour and highlight the texture of the weaving.


To protect and seal the book I gave it a coat of Finishing Medium.


To finish it off I simply added a flower as I didn't want to cover up the woven texture too much.

This is brilliant Neil, thank you!!

Ok - Wednesday - Neil

Is that ok with everyone??

Ok with me but if I can make a suggestion jane the projects were previously split over a week instead of three consecutive days which made them last the week
I understand if this is more work for you and it can't be done this way
I shouldnt wish to cause you any problems
