"When in doubt, make a book" - or a dozen!
 |
| Cut and folded |
They are a dos-a-dos format, using a small section of some paper painted (on both sides) at a workshop at Committed to Cloth several years ago -
 |
Punched and ready for sewing with red and yellow linen threads
(the extra bit of cover will be trimmed later) |
The paper bands hold the books closed, but elastic bands are more practical when the books are in use -
The remnants of the paper were used to make gift tags, embroidering a gold star over a red dot -
And a one-off - wreath made from discarded pine (or fir? spruce?) branches - without a firm base to attach the branches to, it was flopping about, so I started again...
Not much firmer - more of a catherine-wheel than a typical xmas wreath!
Given that someone keeps stealing plants from the pots outside the front door at Rathcoole Gardens, it doesn't seem wise to put anything portable on the door...but it's too warm inside, really.
