Two more books finished

Here are two more of my textile books for Ineke Berlyn’s course. I’ve had so much fun making them.

This first is my version of Book of Tea. Filled with quotes about tea, laces and stitching. With leather cover and closed with a key.
Enjoy!

 page 10 and 11
 and page 12

The next is «Welkome to my Garden»

The cover is made of  balsa-wood, painted like a flower garden with a fence, made of those sticks you stir your coffe with. The fabrics are mostly snow-dyed, as well as the
thread I used for hand-stitching.

Book 3 with Ineke

I have just finished my book 3 in Ineke Berlyn’s Art Textile Books. I used the circle as inspiration, it has 36 pages, rusted and bleached fabrics, cotton and linen, and mostly hand-quilted/embroidered. Here are pictures of some of the pages:

Two more Journalquilts

Two more Journalquilts

Just a short note to show you my last two Journal-quilts. The first, for July, is inspired by our road-trip this summer, and the pink – blue wild Lupins along the way:

I just love the texture you can get with a bit of stitching, it helps when I am not too pleased with my chose of fabric. Some Clos-ups:

The second, for August, is a map of my surroundings. 

Also here, the hand-stitching gives depth to the quilt: 

Welcome

I love to make things. I like knitting in the evenings, and tending my garden. I love to work with fibres, to colour and shape things. I find great inspiration in older Japanese design, the art of Hiroshige and Hokusai being my favourites. I also dabble a bit with bookmaking, binding my own sketchbooks to play in and fill with my research, as well as making textile books.
