Mary Ann Moss's Remains of the Day course is still bringing me lots of pleasure.
We were invited to exchange pages with another randomly selected maker. Jan of DéjàVu Creations was my swap partner and sent me two of her sheets which will become 8 pages when folded. They are absolutely lovely, beautifully designed with secret pockets and surprises. Just what I wanted. Included in her parcel were many small treasures of labels, envelopes with windows, a bird made from felt and even a vintage hanky. Thank you so much, Jan!
The idea is to include pockets to hold souvenirs and interesting pieces of ephemera and Jan has made the most of security envelopes and overlapping papers. I am thrilled with these. They'll look marvellous in one of my Shabby Journals.
A while ago, Hugh asked me for a scrapbook to his own specifications to hold mementos of his career. This one is bursting with cuttings, invitations and reviews of exhibitions since 1971 when he set up his own pottery at the age of 21.
These pages remind us of Derek Emms, Seung Ho Yang and Bernard Leach, just three of the world renowned potters he has met and worked with over the years.
One book wasn't enough so on I go with my stitching and glueing.
