You silly duffa. Take offence? Who me? By you? Not way José!

Thanks for being so quick to welcome me back. You're a gem. And my, haven't you been busy while I've been away (I really love your shopping bags). As for this post, I'm rather partial to the artist book. We covered these in our last term, but little ol' me ran out of time to try my hand at such a thing. Add it to the 'to do' list!

Ingrid Mida said...

I have tried embroidering text and I found it incredibly difficult so I'm really impressed by what I see here. I wonder if there are any tricks?
Love your blogs!! How do you find time to write two and still do your own artwork?
