In an attempt to make up for the last month of silence, I will be posting entries to show you the work that has kept me away from the blog for so long. Today it is Kindle Cases.
I have tried to theme the cases towards books, one on Pride and Prejudice, one on Alice in Wonderland and the last one on books in general. This is something that would appeal to me as a buyer and I have not seen it done elsewhere.
As you can see from this photo of the backs, I have tried to incorporate detail from within the books.
This weekend I decided to try a piece based on a quote. The obvious choice was Jane Austen so I thought I'd try to reproduce an outfit from the period as the illustration. Instead of completing the embroidery in black as usual, I used a toning blue shade which gave the piece a much softer edge. This is something that I will try with future pieces.
