What I love about working with fabric is the range of possibilities of things that can be made.
I started out making a fabric journal. My intent was to make signatures by piecing various fabric, ribbons, etc. .
My first two signatures were a bit more applique than piecing.
This project was not coming out like I had thought, so I set it aside for a bit.
Then, I remembered that this weekend, I am meeting with one of my cousins.
I thought I could make her a journal pocket or maybe a prayer pocket.
She keeps lots of prayer cards, small booklets, and rosaries with her.
I placed some notebooks and a pen just to see if it worked.
My first thought was to fill the pockets for her, but then, maybe she would like to decide for herself how to use this.
The penny in the back pocket is for ” A Penny for your Thoughts”.
The blue signature will be put on hold until I make some paper with the Gelli frame.
I still do not have a brayer or the variety of paints I want. I am also still studying videos. In the meantime, I am finding things from home that can be used on the Gelli plate.
There are many cool videos from Gelli Arts. The one at the bottom is about painting on fusible interfacing.
I love the idea of a pocket/pockets for a journal!
Thanks. I got the idea at 3 this morning! 🙂
Ha! See you are trying to sleep and craft at the same time 🙂
What a great idea. I hope she loves it.
What a lovely gift! Your gifts are always so useful, personal and, well just nice! I am placing this on my “to do” list for Christmas gifts this year.
Thanks.I think I should start my Christmas to do list now, too.
Such a great idea! I’m looking forward to my Gelli painting class. I’ve seen some of those videos and it’s so hard to not want to try it all. 😊
My sister, the author and illustrator, attended the Highlights Conference this week. One of the workshops was making paper with Gelli plates to use in making a foldable book. She told. E these conferences are not just for authors. https://www.highlightsfoundation.org/
Wonderful! I will have to check this out! I’m so excited to try this art craft out!!! 🙃
Your printing looks like fun 😀
