Creating a Book

All fired up with a commission to make a fabric and paper book. Taking inspiration from the garden, which has been a sheer joy this year due to mild and sunny weather and intercurrent rain (but not too much!!).


Pages will have pockets and envelopes for storing memorabilia



Nigella seed heads are inspirational:

Autumn colours and decay:

Teeny weeny insects at work:
Autumn blooms:

A cat's soft paw helps with lavender collection:

GO CREATE!!
