Re-working

 As we packed up we came across lots of small bits of art that we had bought at different times, and whilst we brought some with us; much was shared and gifted to friends and family, continuing the circle of art.

I wasn't sure what to do with these two wee prints from the Maleny Printmaker's Collectable series.  They are by Peter McLean and I thought they were just lovely. I brought them with us, not sure where they might head next.

One day I looked at them and thought they might have a future as a small book. And so on Sunday I sat with them and turned them into covers for a  wee notebook.

Thunderhead II


I did a simple dot-dash pamphlet stitch on lovely Magnani Map paper.


I was surprised by the colour variation when I did a close up!

    1. Very satisfying resolution Liz - I am setting myself small goals to use up things I have around me and re-use them; or do something with them so there could be a stack of these tiny projects in the next while.
