"Nature's Wings" Completed!

It's always very satisfying to complete another

project and especially so when 

someone puts up their hand to purchase it!

 

 

A rusted washer gets added to the closure

tied with sari and velvet ribbons!

 

 

Pages filled with scraps of fabric and paper 

stamped with the inclusion of

bird adages!

 

torn paper, embroidered net

 

 

hand stitched layered scrim, lace and paper

 

 

insects and buterflies around flora and fauna

 

 

 all culminating

in this stack of pages!

 

Thank you dear readers for visiting and commenting

so kindly as you do - I hope these pages

inspire you too!

Happy weekend to everyone wherever you are!

"Nature's Wings"

I'm still enjoying the process

of creating small books

using many different fabrics, textures, images

and precious words to accompany my latest

creation called "Nature's Wings"! 

 

 This is the proposed cover with additions still to be 

added

like

some inspirational words which

 our winged friends

represent to us! 

I have used several layers of soft felts, laces

and papers gessoed, painted and glued

with defining hand stitches. 

This process appeals to me so much

as it allows the words to form in my mind as I stitch!

 

The stacked pages ready to be bound together to 

represent another interpretation of

what these little winged beings flying around us

mean to each one of us!

Anyone wishing to learn my book making
techniques may enrol into my on-line workshop at:

http://creativeworkshops.typepad.com/blog/2015/07/peaceful-pondering-fabric-lace-book-suzy-quaife.html 

 

 

This is a very extensive and detailed class to follow
with no end date - so you can enjoy it all
at your own leisure! 

Enjoy my friends!

Easter Blessings

This Easter assemblage

shows I am still a country girl at heart

 

 with birds nests, eggs, jugs and stoneware bottles

even though living as a "townie" now

these values still remain!

 

 

and there is always a favourite creation or two

 

 

 

  

 

 

Wishing you all a very happy, safe and enjoyable

time over Easter!

Mini Journals

Welcome my friends!

Many of you know that I love to create books

and journals 

 much like these above 

but

more recently I have been creating what I like to call

"Mini Journals" often with a particular theme! 

This particular one is centred around

some beautiful French images

of Madonna and French Saints

 

 As I often do I have delved into my stash to find

just the right type of felt, vintage laces - antique also

combined with some old silks

and hand stitching.

 The cover displays some printed text overlayed

with a cabachon holding an image

of a French saint

 

Adopting meaningful verses

to uplift our senses!

 

 This one has gone to live with another fabric textile artist

but I do have one for sale entitled

"A Mother's Love"

 

which I will shortly list in my Etsy shop!

or contact me at suziqu@tpg.com.au

if interested.

♥♥♥

Having the best intentions of trying to be around more

and thank you all for visiting!
