This is my recent project on my Embellisher. It is the second journal cover made with this technique. The first one I used felt for the background and it ended up too thick. The background for this one is a lovely batik and although it was a bit on the lightweight side, I think it was a better choice. A few beads to represent bubbles and a grosgrain ribbon with a fish charm at the bottom makes a nice bookmark.
I'm really pleased with this one.
The first one I did will be turned into a small wallhanging.. Stay tuned.

Hi to all you dolls that have complimented me on my work....
Jackie and KV.... Yes... you do NEED one of these machines!! They are an absolute blast!!
Thanks Phyl,,,It's my first STAB at it!! hee hee I caught someone going to throw away some bits and pieces the other day when some of us were to-gether sewing .I gathered up all that was going in the garbage... Honestly and here I am with a huge fabric stash, begging for pieces!!! I just can't stand waste.... well that's my excuse!;-}
Morning Dove... So happy you liked the piece... It is really so much fun to do. in fact when I get done with my emails I want to do something else! It took an evening to do , so it goes along quickly. The most time was spent looking for the darned fish fabric!!!!
Tammy ... Thanks for popping in and leaving some nice words.... I appreciate all the comments you gals leave. You are all very inspiting....

oh my gosh... this is amazing!!! Love what you have done!
This is fabulous Maggie - no wonder you are pleased with it. The embellisher is wonderful for creating texture!! Just found you via Surface Design - so welcome there too!
The book cover is very, very nice. I am enjoying your blog. I had to borrow the Peculiar Aristocratic Title for mine. I had never seen it before. Julie the Mad...hmmm???
Julie Marie
Hi Julie Marie.. Glad you like the journal....Thanks for your compliment.. Isn't that "Peculiar Aristocratic Title" a hoot!!!! I thought some of the names I got from it would be a good subject for a doll!!
Never a dull moment!!!
((((hugs))))
