Hidden Treasures fabric book...

The above are the front and back covers for my "Hidden Treasures" fabric book. In one of my yahoo groups we are doing a round robin project where you make the front and back covers of your book, plus one page. Your book is then sent around to all the other players (one per month) and they make a page for your fabric book too. My book will come home with beautiful fabric art from 9 other artists around the world... it will be amazing!!!
I have been involved in a swap with most of these girls before in my fabric doll pages swap and their work is absolutely stunning.
Each month I will post a picture of the page I have made for other peoples journals so everyone can share in this wonderful round robin with me.
This swap was the brainchild of Jo Wholohan...who.... lucky me, I will get to see her cover and page first as Jo posts to me first. Jo's work is so wonderful and textural!!! Check out her blog to see her cover etc., they are amazing.
Sorry the above photo is not terribly good quality... not as clear as it could be, but at least you get to see what I was working on over the weekend. (Julie H. did you note the beautiful ribbon that you sent me last year on the back page...just perfect for this project - thankyou!)
I still have to finish my internal page and will post a picture of that as soon as finished.
Hope you are having a wonderful creative week........
