New book

This is the book I've been making over the last 3 days. A repurposed old book cover with text block removed. Filled with random papers cut to size - old paintings/drawings, cartridge, watercolour paper, squared, tracing, wrapping etc. Stitched using long stitch binding.

Latest work

Recently I've been dipping into various books on textiles as well as going to a mixed media sketchbook course. A few things have resonated with me.
- Sketchbooks don't have to be bound, they can just be a collection of 'pages'.
- The pages don't have to be presented in a 2D way, they can be in a 3D container.
- The pages can be worked on in a 3D way, any stitching doesn't have to be flat.
