You may know that Craft Land (Town Center Plaza, Jumerah, Dubai), is sponsoring my Art Journaling Courses. I 've made a very short list of select shops I would love to have as sponsors because of the wonderful people and products they offer. Craft Land have the best and most creative yarns here in Dubai. This place is just great eye candy: the colours of the yarns, threads and buttons, they have ribbons, kits, tools, and they offer courses, too. One of the wonderful ideas they have, is the sewing clinic! Which is where I went this morning and the wonderful Christie helped me use the very advanced sewing machine - these things are like you Mac computers. Amazing!
I've been collecting bits and pieces of fabrics, ribbons, threads, beads, you name it. Christie brought along her own stash of similar bits and pieces. I cut and doodled with fabrics, pinned them down, and then started to sew with metallic thread. We have a few issues because of the many layers I used, but I got so much help and support form very patient Christie!
My plan is to create a complete journal, with loads of pages, as many as possible made of fibrearts including crochet, knitting, embroidery, mixed media fibrearts .. and then to join them together as a journal.
This was my first page!
What do you think?
I'm hoping to work on this regularly (if you'll bear with me as a skip over to other projects in between - I can't seem to break that habit!).
