Anyway... here are a few of my pages.
Variegated embroidery thread.
I moved the white on white embroidery to a page with a bit of colour. I wrote myself notes as you can see...for down the road when I'm sure to forget what things were.
Some day I want to do a pincushion with yellows and ruffles .. I still have some of the fragile silk hanky..just waiting to be used.......
The pale pink flower pounded fabric below is pretty but it never did become quite what I envisioned when I tried to piece it together so cut it into smaller pieces and have used it in my book.
I did a pincushion in taupes with a bit of another piece of flower pounded fabric and love it... I wish this one had worked out as well....but, it didn't and now...I'm just happy it's still good for something.
Wanted to show you my other flower pounding piece if you haven't see it before. I posted it a while back. Lovely Olde Worlde tatting cut off a beautiful vintage hanky that I bought at a doll and bear show...for only pennies...I almost felt guilty. I managed to buy 4 lovely hankies that day. Thanks to that wonderful lady whoever she was.

Your little book is wonderful - a great way to make a memory. I've never tried flower pounding and don't suppose I will at this point. Living in an apartment doesn't lend itself to those sorts of activities!
Oh my grandmother used to do tatting what an art that is. LOVE LOVE your book. You are truly an artist. Hug. B

I love how each page just dedicates itself to the beauty of one small piece. It helps you to appreciate your work. I LOVE this book!
What a clever way to keep pieces of your work! It makes for a very lovely book too!
