I decided to make another cover just so I could solidify in my mind how to make one. I decided to do some lettering for the inside cover. I was going to use this for the outside cover but I got going with the writing and hated to cover it all up with fabric strips. I have started gathering for the pages and it truly is wide open what you can do at this point. But sometimes wide open can be harder than-- not wide open (for me anyway)...too many choices and decisions sometimes. That's when I just have to rely on intuitition or I get a huge pain in my head trying to decide. Oh decisions decisions...The lettering is upside down on this one. Note to self...c'est le vie!
I love all of the writing on this--you did this by hand?? Have you ever submitted your pieces to Somerset's Art of Lettering?--this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love all the writing too! I would have to use this as a small purse. Its so neat.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Martha.....I love this...I would love to do this class but do I dare pull out my machine and and attempt this?...For now I don't think so...my head is spinning with all the projects i would like to do...lol
ReplyDeleteTotally gorgeous!!! I agree, it would be a cute purse, too. As always you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteOh yum, I love the colors, the mixed fabric, the writing, the patterns, well I love everything about it!!!

Martha, You know you can make $$ from these, right? {Big Grins} Purses, journals, small notebooks...You have an etsy shop or you're selling somewhere else, right?
ReplyDeleteThat lettered one is AWESOME. More, please...
I love these covers Martha! A messenger style bag would be very cool, or how about a pen/brush holder that rolls up. I can come up with a list for you! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour art just gets better and better, if that's possible! Your lettering on this cover is just wonderful! love, debbie
ReplyDeleteSo inviting, full and interesting. One could almost take the cover and frame it by itself...beautiful!
