Beloved

Beloved - mixed media artist book.... this one is 8cm or so tall.......

I shall tell you the girl in the centre there has lived in my special collection of drawings for a little while - I've looked and wondered how she might work in different projects..... but then the idea came to give her a little more detail with the embroidered ruffle with applique.......

It sometimes works this way - I make a small drawing or stitched piece and then it sits, waits a while....

But there's no waiting now - this artist book, with another and a new moonlit brooch will be in my shop later today....

Hi Cathy
I think this is my favourite piece of yours so far. I love the use of different textures and the combination of words and images. You're a great storyteller.
