Smaller books made from water colour paper.


Here are two smaller books made from one sheet of water colour paper painted with an extended 
(1 meter long) brush and Indian ink.


After the mark making, the sheet is torn into pages 10cm x 14cm, then each torn page is folded in half to measure 10 x 7 cm.




Each small book has seven signatures of two pages each.
Stitched together using waxed linen thread and coptic stitch.
   
                                               

                                           The spine stitching is woven with embroidery floss, then embellished with
buttons.

Paper hat

This punched heart flower is from a previous post, below is the progress for a paper hat/fascinator.

Components, everyone says the top hat looks like a tea cup! Oh well,

Antique look was achieved with sepia watercolour. Just needs to be attached to a head band and it will be completed.
