#15. Margaret Garrood: little book swap!

From Essex, UK, we have 4 beautiful and unusual books for the swap, plus an extra one for me from Margaret Garrood -so wonderful! She describes how she created them on her blog, LibertyBelle. Her book covers are made with painted craft vilene, which I believe is a water soluble stabalizer. Let me show you!!
Such beautiful covers! The beading is gorgeous.

Inside, the pages are painted with Koh-i-noor dyes and hand stitched.


Here is another cover . . . Margaret writes more about
making her books in another post here.

Beautiful! Thank you so much, Margaret.
