Journal cover

I created this journal cover from handmade fabric paper and bound it in hand dyed and stamped tape

I love this old photo so transferred it to fabric and stitched it to the background  The long tags are also fabric paper with hand written goals added  The title is from round tiles stamped and secured to the background with embroidery thread

Domino shrine

Halloween box

Fabric book cover

Working with fabric paint I coloured the white cotton fabric then stamped a variety of stamped images in various colours  Once this had dried and heat set I added net lace and ribbon held in place with hand and machine stitching  The cover fits over an A5 book - and I can remove the cover to wash or change to another book
