Been quiet ......

I recently finished these fabric pages for my friend Dot's Round Robin book. We have been working in these books for the past year and Dot's was my last in the Round Robin...quite sad that its finished as I loved working in these books. Dot kindly sent me these photos (as I forgot to take some before I sent her book off). Loved working on Dots pages as she loves bright and vibrant colours, stitching and embellishing...so I used her favourite Kaffe Fassett fabric for her from page.
This is the back of the page - again using some of her favourite KF fabrics. I have been making a lot of little owls recently so couldnt resist putting a little owlet in the pocket of the heart.

I've been a bit quiet lately.... with the fires and family visiting there hasnt been much time for my artistic pursuits. BUT, thats about to change as I am off to the Creative Soul Art Retreat at the end of next week...Yaayyyyyy. So looking forward to catching up with lots of friends and learning lots of new techniques/art forms. Will keep you posted.
Take care all and will be back again soon.

    Such a treat to see that little owl face peering out the pocket. A kangaroo owl?

    I'd wave at you from Bali, but it would mean I have to put my cocktail down. So excited to be going from here to there and getting to meet you at last.....

    Oh, such beautiful pages! I love them..the little owl peeking out...and the dancing girl frocklicking through the flowers...gorgeous.

    It seems like everything is quiet around here too. The cold weather is keeping us all inside... :(
