today i finished getting everything ready for the deloraine market on saturday
hatchlings, hearts and birds did not escape
neither did these rustic pincushions
the stitched cloth-covered journals only had a short reprieve
[i finished them late last night]

i just finished getting everything ready for the market at deloraine this weekend
i also wrote up an inventory, and what i’m taking amounts to nearly $2000 … phew
if even a fraction of that gets sold i’ll be happy
this photo doesn’t do it justice – it’s hard to see all the small things in baskets, boxes and even an old suitcase (see bottom left of photo) 
i collected up some of it from my gallery (mostly stuff i’ve made this year)
i also made some items specifically for the market – to see more, click here
i found this artist today … the artwork is so beautiful (please make sure you read the words; scroll down to see them in english)
after i made the key bracelet, i rediscovered some lovely floral wooden buttons that someone had given me
i love buttons and have quite a collection – i think i might be a buttonaholic
these particular ones were just right for the centres of some crocheted flowers
a pink crocheted cord contrasted well with the blue yarn
another button made a great closure
it was fun making this bracelet!

recently i posted a page about 3 drawings i did on rusted text paper
what i didn’t mention was that i featured them in a handmade artist book
i used upcycled cardboard and found objects as well as some extra rusted papers, such as sheet music
i also added plant dyed wool and silk, and – of course – stitch
holes were cut into the pages and ‘screened’ with thread, as an experiment to allow the reader to glimpse other parts of the book
i was also interested to see how these holes allowed the light in, which is why i took so many photos!
