AND.... my fabric book has arrived home. What a treasure to find in my mail box. This was a collaborative Round Robin with four other Australian girls, one from Luxembourg, one from Germany, two from America and one from Canada... the fabric work is just amazing. I will share more photos of the pages later.
This is the front cover I made for my book over 12 months ago. I was worried that I wouldnt like what I had done when it returned home...but I still like it. I love architecture and this was fabric play with architecture. The blue wings popping out from within are from a beautiful page created by the gorgeous Belinda Schneider. I now have to work out how I am going to bind these pages together. Lucky me.... I am already in another fabric page swap for later this year with my art buddy Dot and two other lovely ladies from the UK. Cant wait!
I just thought you might like to see these wonderful doors which are on a bookstore (for the life of me cant remember the name of it.....) in High Street, Armadale. My sister Lee and I quite often frequent this bookshop...fantastic. I think it is Bergdorfs.... must ask Lee she has an amazing memory for names etc.
I also wanted to share this photo of a beautiful handmade pendant that Lee gave me for Christmas this year. It is my absolute favourite piece of jewellery.... very special. Isnt she a lovely sister to spoil me so ....... I love the eiffel tower (Lee and I shared a week in Paris a few years ago so this is a lovely memento of that time).

I thought the eerie beauty did show up. In fact, all the photographs are beautiful.
Hello Jacky, the photos are very ethereal in the second one you can really see the smoke in the valley ~ you've captured the scene beautifully.
The books looks amazing and hope we'll get to see each page when you get chance ~ what a wonderful sister to give you such treasure its a beautiful pendant.
Have a wonderful week, take care ~ Judy xx
Hey Jacky!
Oh your book is lovely. The cover is beautiful and I can tell it is made by your hand. Your work has a special jewel like quality that is unmistakable. The photos of the valley are so ethereal and quiet. Beautiful all.
What a wonderful post... first the pink skies...and your fabric book, I can hardly wait to see the rest of this lovely. Oh, and that door... can you show as a full on front view? How I would love to walk through those doors...
and the pendant from your sister is absolutely lovely... I will check out the website now! Roxanne
Your journal cover is spectacular!
I remember so well the eerie weeks following the California wild fires...The smoke actually made for spectacular sunsets...bitterweet...
There is nothing quite like a week shared in Paris! What a beautiful piece to commemorate your time there.
That eerie glow just doesn't seem to go away, we had it again this morning. I hope things stay calm for you this week, we sound as if we're in for another bad one.
Love your book, can't wait to see it in the flesh. The pendant is gorgeous.
Hi Jacky,
The photos are very beautiful and poignant, and I hope you are going to be safe there this week...as more on the way...
Thanks for your email...I have been inspired by seeing your fabric books in the flesh...I hope you are going to show all your pages soon...after all this time have got out my fabrics, ribbons/etc ( inspired by you and Dot).....and have been making a fabric/collage/art journal..I am so excited by it, as it has given me a break from just painting faces...it's more in line with DJ petitts work, than the softer, fuller work you guys have been doing, it's more flat.....can't wait to show you and the others in MArch.... xxx
Jacky, so nice to have your book home after all it's travels.. looks luscious! Not long to go before we get to play!
beautiful even with the smoke jacky, take care..... will try to being my book down to share too xx
as sad as the fires are, those first two photos are really beautiful - when Mt St Helens erupted in the 1980's here, our light was really interesting also - love your locket
Jacky, hope you are still safe there. We have had that eerie glow too all last week from the gippsland fires.
Love your book and your pendants ar gorgeous. will have to take a peek. take care Jenxo
Oh Jacky, the photos are beautiful! Too bad that it is the smoke that made that wonderful light... black&white, good&bad... it always goes together. That fabric book is a treasure! I wonder how are you going to bind it.... the cover is perfect! Love the pendant and the sweet memories it brings back. Have a happy week! xo
Hi Jacky, what a lovely post, and thank you for saying such kind things! I'm so happy that you really like the pendant.
Your fabric book looks absolutely gorgeous - I can't wait to see it in the flesh.
Oh, and the name of the bookstore is Berkelouw's - wish I was there browsing around right now.
Have a great week. Lee :)
The smoke gives a haunting effect to your landscape.. I hope you are safe as we hear the fires have not subsided
Your book is gorgeous and must have been an exciting process... the process is the life blood of creating.
I love the grill-work and ornamentation, on the bookstore doors.
Hi Jacky....your photos are beautiful and your fabric book pages look luscious!! I visited the website and drooled over the jewellery - I rather like the lady in the attic!
Hope all goes well for you ... take care.
Love
Linda xx
