Bloom Stitched Journal.





color and texture are the two things that excite me the most. 
when I first started to make this book I had the idea of using spring hues. greens, yellows, pinks and aqua blues...I had a few cast off fabric bits laying around that I wanted to work into this journal,
 
 



and this is what led me to taking up my old ways of sewing on paper... 

  I enjoy the popping sound of the needle as it punches threw the paper... 

 it has a way of pulling closer to the process of my work. 



a few thoughts are scribbled threw out the pages. I Panted fabrics and papers and made smaller books that I attached to the  main book.


other storys started to unfold between these layers pockets were also created to house another small book.if you would like to know a little more about my process of making these pages you can read about it in 


  



Happy Creating!

I love the colours of your book, so spring like. What a fabulous creation.
I have seen a number of books made by stitching through paper. What type of paper do you use?

Dear Ruth, such beautiful work

I wondered if I may ask if you are still interested in being a part of Tag Tuesday or if you would prefer to concentrate on your own projects thus freeing a place. I would be really pleased to hear from you dear. With very many best wishes,
