"See What Emerges!"

 "If you're a little bit stuck and not quite sure what to do. - have a little fling of some paint, make a few marks, and just start stitching.......and see what emerges."  Izzy Moore

Izzy's little Confidence Kickstart project has become a little book.....I think it's kind of fun! 

  

I made the front and back covers out of a second sheet we made on heavier weight paper with a little less stitching. I joined the covers by fusing a piece of fabric as the binding and added a little stitch line on each cover. Then I did a machine blanket stitch around the outer edges.  Finally.....after some fancy folding and glueing of my long piece I attached the cover to the book with gel medium.

I added a few more hand painted fabric dots....and a little "joy" to the cover....

and a little book was born.

It's got three 2 page spreads with those continuous black stitching lines connecting from page to page. No one but me....and now you....know that those black lines started with "joyful."  I can picture those stitching lines being readable words....or a phrase that carries from page to the next. 

Here's the back cover....and I'm pretty happy with what emerged!

Thanks for the kickstart Izzy!
