Here are the next two and final
pages for my little fabric booklet
for January following
Roxy's Journal of Stitchery Volume #9:
My chosen book was
"Snow" by John Banville--
and since we have always lived
by the sea.....
The following two pages are
subtitled:
"Winter by the Sea..."
I am still using the leftover
blue silk from the dress my Mom
made for me to represent
the ocean waves....
I made a couple little sea creatures--
a pretend crab with the two beady
eyes (L)
and a little sea horse...
and below...
I also ringed the moon with some gold thread...
I used this piece of hand dyed fabric
leftover from "Dark Days"
and the lacey bit to show the floating moon..
**********************************
Next, I will sew the pages together
back to back and then into
the little booklet...
making some hand stamped
titles to go along with
my pages...
*****************************
We are awaiting the incoming
cold front/stormy weather
that is coming overnight...
Definitely
"Puffy coat" weather here...
Hugs, Julierose
