Fabric manipulation - Journal cover..


Handmade journal cover

I used :

calico - cream
muslin - cream
Voile - two tone

I sandwiched the fabrics afer manipulating them:

muslin: waves/swirl shapes & frayed, burnt holes in
Voile: burnt swirls into fabric to create loose pattern
then I added swirls via thin copper tube beads (took ages lol)

machine wrapped thread for ties - used different coloured threads & metallics

Michael writes:

Living in Eastbourne at the foot of the South Downs, is a marvellous opportunity to observe changes in light and weather in this corner of the UK.

Up on the downs and cliffs, the most familiar sights never look quite the same,
and at times I have used the same composition more than once in my photographs, with only the light and colour being different.

I like compositions with an element of simplicity, and see this as perhaps my graphics training being apparent once more.

But mostly I just love the landscapes and seascapes that surround me here.

If I can capture something of their beauty through the changing seasons, then I’m happy.
