MORE BOOKBINDING

Ten weeks have flown by and this is the final book I have made this term.  It is an old piece of silk paper which had been machine stitched.  I added two cords to this one which I had created using a cording foot on my sewing machine and a zigzag pattern with metallic threads over several strands of varying types of thread.

The other threads with bits on them were made using Carole Coleman's method of stitching spiral lines of machine stitch on dissolvable fabric.  I am going to cut them up and hand stitch them to the ends of the two cords which are embedded in the book cover perhaps with the addition of some small beads.
