Check out my tutorial at [link]
I print out images on overhead transparency sheets - make for wonderful transparent layers.

Fabulous. Loving the textures. Are you working on fabric pages? Are those stitches, pray tell???

The textures are luscious - I got carried away just with colours and feel and didn't think too much about content.

Yup, stitches! My newest discovery. This book has paper with quite a high rag content, so I can run the edges of the pages through the sewing machine. Either with thread (as in this page and the Emily Dickinson page) or without thread - then you get a wonderful texture of holes, especially if you use a fancy stitch. If you then ink the pages over the holes, the ink sinks in and makes wonderful patterns. Also adds an intriguing Braille-like texture to the back of the page. You must try it!

I can't find my old sewing machine! When last seen, it was in the attic, but we took everything apart and it just is not there. I have been dying to move into some very simply stichery. I do have bobbin-tensioning issues (don't we all?), but I have this vision of creating a book with fabric and paper pages, and then learning a simple coptic stitch for binding. But no sewing machine! And it would be too much for handwork. Grrrrr. Your stuff is marvelous, and the stichery...wow. Well done.

Oh yes. I lose my sewing machine all the time. It was recently resuscitated out of the garden shed by athalour, who was feeling domestic. And while it was out I hijacked it for collage. Bobbin tensioning issues luckily don't matter when you're collaging - the snargle of thread is just another interesting texture!

I'm also being tempted by bookbinding ... maybe *widdywoo can give us lessons?

I bound a fabric cover to a book last night. It looks rough, and there are selvage edges sticking out at top and bottom, but I laced the fabric on both cover pieces (thanks,crop-o-dile), and that part does look cool. The fabric came from another of Emma's thrift finds...it even had rickrack along the waist, which I incorporated. I'll figure out the selvage later, but right now the fabric is moving me. I've decided to investigate sewing machines to see if there is a really generic simple model that just performs random stitchery. Seems like a child's machine would do for all that I would use it for.
