It was a beautiful morning here on Sunday. The first zinnia to flower this year.
Then I spied the moon.
My shed with russian vine clambering over the top of it.
Both Emma and Alex asked to see the front of my last notebook, here it is. It is rather rustic.
I guess it is how I have been feeling. Last week I had another small operation so not much was done prior to it or since. I knew my free machine embroidery needed improving so I got a piece of fabric and just wrote all over it in cream thread. That it turn has formed the basis of notebook twenty-nine. I used up scraps of fabric to decorate the cover. The notebook is approx 3.5" x 7" and has plain white pages inside.
Finally here is a collage that I have glued and stitched to-gether. Hand dyed silk, Alchemilla and Geranium put through the die-cutting machine just to squash the dye out. Screen printed brown paper, muslin and silk. They have all been bonded to soft tissue paper and some alcohol ink sprayed on. Free machine embroidery to finish the piece which measures 10" x 10".
Will be back once I have been creative.

Just stopping by for the first time.
Your work is absolutely lovely. I can't wait to see more.
I love this collage - looks pretty creative to me!
I enjoyed this. Thank you.
Love the collage too, and the little notebook is pretty too.
Your collage is gorgeous & notebooks are lovely too.
Thank you! The fabric rose looks lovely. It's brilliant to see how different materials can change the way the technique turns out and I love this one. I have a hankering to do one with torn silk strips...
You are too modest! Your work is lovely and I really, really like your collage at the end. Just fab.
My shed is the same colour as yours!!
Heloise your collage is wonderful, love the colors and your new journal so beautifully made.

Beautiful collage. I used to live in Oxfordshire before moving out here to the US. Lived in Wantage, Eynsham, Witney and Black Bourton over the years. :0)
Hi Heloise. Nice to meet you. Ipopped over here from Artsee Blogger
Congratulations on being a featured artist on Artsee Blogger! You live in such a beautiful place and I see you mention Bridport as one of your favourite places. I know Bridport really well as my mother lives on the Somerset Dorset border and my granny lived in Burton Bradstock and Bridport for years. I love the Saturday market and the little shops and cafes. Lovely!
I actually meant to say that your collage is simply stunning!
Congratulations on being in the spotlight today !
