5 Handmade sketch art journals

It is ages since I posted, but I have been busy making art of one kind or another.
I have made some leather purses, and also some sketch journals.
Here is a sampling of the journals:

 

 

 

These covers were made with heavy book board, with page variety.



I have detailed descriptions on my Etsy…these were a pleasure to put together!
I will post a couple of my purses very soon.

LIVE Fabric Book

I jut finished making pages for a fabric book, which I will soon be binding.

Some of the background fabrics are dropcloths for my painting….mostly canvas.

I further embellished the fabric sheets, with painting, stitching, and addional fabrics, dryer sheets, art- used baby wipes, laces, molding pastes and more. Layers and layers.

Some pages were felted, then free-motion stitched.

 A bracelet along the right side of this front page. The star was edged with glitter glue paint.
Chiffons and cottons are layered and stitched.

The centre is molding paste on a piece of upholstery fabric, painted with lumieres.

 More cotton and chiffons.

 The centre is a rubber stamp on fabric, then layered with more cottons shapes.

Here are a few pieces of baby wipes, used for wiping up paint, and cleaning brushes.
Also a piece of a glittery gold and black doily.
