Olive takes time off......

Olive sent me an email - She had decided to spend her Easter holiday relaxing at home. She ( very wisely ) delegated all cleaning  tasks and household chores to partner and family and spent the week....

.........well this is what she did-


The first box was started at an embroiderers guild workshop- the others she made from scratch....



The altered book was made for a work-shop her sister was running , demonstrating the use of distress inks. I had never heard of these ..........


and I love the moody stylised  look of these altered book pages  Its a look that could possibly be incorporated into a wallhanging with the aid of the inkjet fabric Catherine was showing us.....

(Note to self... must give this some thought.....! )
And isn't it astounding how much one woman (left in peace to work) can accomplish!
