The pages of these fabric books have not been posted here; thought it was time to change that. I love adding wire formed words to fabric books. On the left, a piece of canvas with an image transfer is the foundation for the phrase.

A fussy cut bird from a favorite a fabric is next with a pocket stuffed with large tags. Some of the tags have muslin that I inserted in my typewriter and typed directly upon.

A paper postcard is added to this fabric book next to a page of fun fabrics that I dyed in 2005. The metal is stamped with the words ‘dream big’.

I use my fabric books as a place to experiment – like art journals. Sometimes simple is good, other times lots of layers work together. There are no rules as to how the pages are embellished.
