This was one of the highlights of the Guild calendar for me last year. Although we are essentially a Guild of Spinners, Weavers & Dyers we like to mix it up occasionally with something a little different. Judith Fearnley is a lovely lady who makes the most awesome journals, handmade books and boxes. I had a fantastic day making books with her in 2010 so I was delighted to hear she was visiting again in 2011.
This is how the day started (note how tidy and organised we were)...
A couple of hours later - not so organised but Julia and I were having a great time...
My work in progress - this will be a sketchbook for my OCA course
And our completed project for the day - cute boxes covered with old maps!
And two finished projects from Judith's last class..
I used to love making books, really must find time to try again. The map covered boxes are lovely x
ReplyDeleteIt's very satisying I must say. Lots of scope for sticking, glueing and being creative but without the pressure to draw!
