A friend of mine makes the most beautiful paper and was kind enough to make these sheets for me. Now, because they are so special , I am afraid to try and make them into a book in case I mess them up. I 've started with an embroidered and beaded cover.
The paper is quite delicate and can't be fiddled with too much.
Today I am going to attempt to attach the cover to the sheets with coptic stitching, which is quite pretty and not covered with a spine. A deep breath and here goes!
I am a textile designer,beader and crafter. I live in the beautiful seaside villiage of Hermanus with my husband, two boys(who are both working away from home now) and a ginger cat. I love creating things and have always worked with beads,fabrics,design, colours and yarns. My 'proper" job is working as a Literacy & Numeracy facilitator for a local NGO.It is also creative, but in a completely diferent way and most rewarding.
