Machine stitching layers of tissue paper for no other reason
than I wanted to try it after seeing
Australian Jen Arburrow's
tissue covered books on Facebook.
You need to use about six layers for stability
otherwise its a bit tricky
I made a little book out of one of the pieces and
put the other in a pocket of my art journal where
I stash all sorts of bits and pieces.
You can see what other people
have been upto this week here
These are gorgeous - I love the bright colours, and making little books is a fab idea.
ReplyDeleteHiya, WOYWW neighbour! Actually, it's really good to see you on the desks again, Lynn..hope you've been ok.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those sewn tissue pieces..how clever is that? Wouldn't have thought of that in a million years..... I have GOT to get myself on a free machining course. It's a shame I live so far away from you or I'd ask you to teach me!
Hugs, LLJ 26 xx
Thanks Jan. Things haven't been the same since that horrible event with kikki but life goes on.
DeleteYes it's a shame we are not closer. Just drop the feed dogs on your machine and go for it Jan. Try it on fabric first xx
Wow, what beautiful pieces Lynn! Very nice indeedy! Do more! ((hugs)) xx
ReplyDeleteI call it experimenting some would say faffing haha xx
DeleteI'm whizzing round all my fav blogs while the twinnies do some drawing by me 😃
ReplyDeleteI've never stitched tissue but that really looks like fun and I love the results.
Hugs Annie x #15
Whizzing right back at you Annie xx

ReplyDeleteAwh thank you Angela x
DeleteWow this is a change of scenery for you I think, now I am going to have to go off and Google what you are doing and check this out a little more. Love your new header by the way, especially love the old china. I have heaps of tissue paper and serviettes to do this creation. Hmm m my head is in manic mode now. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

I thought it was fabric at first and am amazed how great the stitching was on tissue paper! Enjoy the pretty book! I love it! Winnie #64
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the tissue paper is easier to stitch than card! Then again it might be too thin? In any case it looks great! Thanks for sharing this idea! And for your visit earlier! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #34
ReplyDeleteWell that DOES sound like fun, will have to try that, as well! Such pretty colors you have, your little book is adorable!

I love a bit of free machining! x Jo #38
ReplyDeleteHello my friend! I love the little cover you made for your notebook, it is lovely. I would never have thought to sew tissue paper.... like that idea very much. Will we see you soon? Big hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a Lovely idea, I've never seen this before but then that's what WOYWW is all about...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and for stopping by too!!
Hugs!
I can see where sewing on tissue paper could be tricky. I can hardly handle the stuff so I can't imagine sewing on it. It comes out looking very neat though and I can see the appeal. Thanks for the WOYWW visit today. I'm a bit slow getting to visit everyone today. For some silly reason they expect me to work at work today. Judy #79
ReplyDeleteThere is such beauty displayed here today. What a lovely idea to cover the notebook!

See, now I want to try! Yours is stunning, I must look up the person you saw on FB too.
ReplyDeleteCarmen x #53
What a fantastic idea and so colourful. I love it but there is no way I would attempt to sew on fabric let alone on tissue paper.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
Von #42
These all look wonderful! Looks like a great idea! Chrisx 43
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layering Lynn. Thanks for stopping by my blog. x
ReplyDeleteGreat free flowing stitching and the effect looks amazing. I struggle to wrap a present in tissue paper so I can't imagine stitching and creating anything to pretty.
