Maisie Broadhead

Just found an amazing artist, Maisie Broadhead. She has done a very quirky take on old master paintings. Love them! Not sure how to add a link to her website, so you will have to Google if interested.


Hopefully this will work !!

Coptic Binding

The past few days I have been sewing up a couple of books, using pages I put together from junk

papers that I had sewn together months ago.

 

I sewed one book in the usual method I use, using tapes

on the spine then covering the spine with bookcloth. the other I decided to be adventurous and sew a

Coptic Stitch.

 

 

 Two days later and a lot of un-doing here is the result.

 

 

 

 

 The cover is made of book board onto which I pasted papers, a postcard, painted, distressed and matte varnished.

 

I am happy with the end results, though a bit a practice is needed to perfect the stitches!
