Canvas book

using A4 sized folded pieces from a pad halved to create pages

This is another on going project ;o)

I bought a pad of canvas pieces and wanted to make a book

I painted the outside in green red and gold acrylic

paints before sticking this sewn piece for the front .

I would have liked to sew it on , but my machine isn`t working ...

Maybe santa will bring me another !

using white crinkle material , nearly like muslin , with a

green square crochet mat i found , then added other pieces

of material . vintage buttons and a bird in a nest with chicks image .

Also once complete , it has a seam binding closure

My second page , using vintage wallpaper and ledger paper,

and a house created from material scraps .. I need to do something

else with this .. but i haven`t thought of anything .. yet ;o)

Canvas on a roll or in a pad is a wonderful medium to

create on , painted , collaged , stitched , tags , postcards etc

why not have a go yourself ! ?

Scrapbook journal .. page size 5 x 3 "

I bought a book of study cards with a wirebounded edge

and decided to use it and make a small scrap journal ,

all those small pieces and scraps i cannot bear to throw ,

you know the feeling , if you`re a serious crafter / hoarder ;o)

It will be an ongoing project , and below are some of the pages

that i`ve done .. I will be going through them again to add

any text or drawings to each page at a later date ..

Many thanks to those who have given me support

on the news of my father in law`s cancer ..

At the moment , he is awaiting on an appointment to

go see about having chemo , which we think will

be sometime in the new year ...
Otherwise , he is doing well ;o)
