April 27 - own work

Today was a non-experimenting day, so we all brought our own work. We all seem to have been making books this month. Helen brought two she'd made. This one is a gift, to be used as an autograph book. I really like the touch of blue on the page edges. This one was harder to photograph but it has Helen's beautiful embroidery on rug canvas.

Carol also brought two books she'd made for the EWES sale of work last weekend. Aren't they gorgeous?

Nola shared a textile book she's been making this month, a page a day. This was the page for the last Fibrecircle day, based on the collage she made. We all went on with the various work we'd brought. Nola was making the edges for her book pages. Prue was beading a cardigan, adding gorgeous beads and sequins around the neck and on the front. Beverley was making samples, which will probably be book covers: They're really interesting - I can't wait to see what she does with them. Carol had to leave early, because today, though not a public holiday, was an extra school holiday. I can see we'll have to speak to the Department of Education most severely for denying her children this extra day in which to learn!
