January of 2012, three of my friends and I decided to make fabric journals with a theme. Each of us would make pages for each other so that we could have an art book to keep. My theme was dragonflies and now I have all three pages back from my friends.
I showed you the one from Laurie already, but here it is again with her very cool stuffed 3-D dragonfly:
Next is the page from Valerie with some exquisite needlework dragonflies. Lovely, lovely work!
Did you see the silk ribbon embroidered flowers? I love it!
And finally a Monet waterlilies inspired piece from Daisy, complete with awesome 3-D dragonfly fairies. She likes to make beautiful nude dolls from batiks. I smiled when I saw that these little gals had her signature rounded tushes.
I'm so happy with them ... they're gorgeous! Now I have to work on my page and then it'll be time to figure out what to do for a cover. My page will probably also have a dragonfly fairy with a face similar to the 3-D fabric paperdolls that I did for the previous pages. In the meantime I'm just having fun admiring the work that my friends put into my pages. Thank you!
