Book It

All those who attended yesterday's meeting had a treat as Veronica Wells brought a selection of her small books to show us.

just a few

She has always had a love of or "obsession with" small notebooks. She then went on a course to learn about altered books and made one for her husband's 60th birthday. She has made many more since.

 

 

 

She is keen on travel and has produced journals containing mementos of memorable trips.

 

and a love of nature is obvious.

 

Making covered notebooks from collages printed on to fabrics

 

led to personalised notebooks and canvas bags printed and then embellished

 

 Veronica has never been afraid of trying new techniques and showed us some pages with apertures that are not yet finished.

 

One book contained a section of a photo interpreted in paper collage and in fabric & stitch.

 

Veronica has moved on to postcards and folded books and we look forward to seeing lots more of her finished articles as well as UFOs. 

 

We all marvelled at the amount of work as well as the very high standard. I am sure we all left greatly inspired to produce some notebooks of our own.

 

Thank You Veronica
