Front cover of the book
As a small leaving gift I have made her a book in which to record her life in Shanghai. Because the cover is removable she will be able to replace the book each time she fills it.
The book opened out
The front and back of the book are made from fabric with a mixed media strip inserted each side of the hand dyed felt spine. The feathers were free machine stitched as were the rows of hearts and loops.
Detail from the spine, free machine feathers a la Rikki Timms
On the plus side to her leaving she has promised to keep her eyes open for unusual and exciting treasures of the fabric variety for me. Knowing Hills she will have sussed out the markets etc within the first couple of weeks of being there!

Oh my think i deleted my comment inadvertantly when i just wanted to sort out a typo!! Anyway will leave it again... Come to the conclusion you may have been practicing your feathers, they're great, think i'd like a masterclass, you can add it to our list. I think Hill's will be delighted and treasure the gift, it's lovely.
My word Mandi - this is just gorgeous and I love all those feathers (and the other stuff too of course)! What a lucky lady your friend is. Val
Mandi, love the feathers! Your free machining is beautiful......
