pictures of lily aka the gilded one
an altered book covered in painted cotton fabric (muslin) with a thin layer of batting. I embellished and hand stitched the fabric after drawing the basic shape of the outline of the book.I added tiny pearls from a broken necklace, pieces of mixed media paper. I had colored with lumiere , buttons and bows, fly stitch and ribbon.Many of the sewing and embellishment techniques from Beryl Taylors fabulous book i bought at 'CREATE CHICAGO".
