For this month's blue theme I decided I wanted to make a fabric book. My year 11 students are working on an artist book project that brings together a range of textile based skills....so I thought I would have a go myself! The book is loosely based around the theme of water and its many variations. I started this project with one metre of white poly-cotton and just basically played at combining different techniques together. I didn't have a clear plan in mind and just let it evolve. I used tie-dye, shibori, screen printing, lino printing, solvent transfer, hand embroidery and free motion embroidery. I used some really good instructions from another blog here. I hope you like it!
This is the front....
...and this is the back...
