A stitch in time...

I have been turning my mind and my hand to some practical creations rather than purely artistic creations this week. I am pulling together a suite or portfolio of handmade and hand stitched journals which I am looking at selling as an ongoing line. I have also stitched a journal as a farewell gift for a friend/colleague who is taking up a job down the coast. I have worked every second page in the books shown below, each slightly differently. I used water colour pencils on heavy printmaking paper to make a running line at the bottom of the page in one; and did my own "scribbly bark" impersonation along the bottom of the other book's page. They are each stitched with waxed linen thread. Let me know what you think...
