TAST 17 and Sketchbook 13

Take a Stitch Tuesday - the stitch this week is Wheatear Stitch. This stitch is easy enough to do, but I find it hard to keep it neat and even. Another fabric journal page and as well as the wheatear stitch I have - various vintage fabrics, digitally printed fabric [the one with the squares] dyed laces, dyed flower ribbon, ribbon, beads, flower sequins, other embroidery stitches.

Pages from my sketchbook - Birds

These pages are from sketchbook 13. I was experimenting with watercolour backgrounds and I have collaged quite a few of the found images that I had in my stash.

This one is just paint, no collage.

The elephant above is a rubbing from a little metal box I have.

This one, I'm afraid is rather blurred, camera shake probably.
