My Story of the Traveling Pages

Today I finished my story of the traveling Pages. The cover is made with felted wool. Inside I used a night sky. I think that looks good for a fairy tail book.

I am not 100% happy how I made the book pages together. But for my first book it is okay.

Here it is:

I am very happy that I could sew and swap with you. Thank you for your pages and for the nice words when you received a page of me. Every time when I now look into my fairytale I will remember the last year. I think it was a quite good one.

Thank you Ruth for the organisation. For all the work you had all the mails you wrote and the lists you made and the organisation of this blog. I had a lot of fun making the pages and showing the photos.

The princess of the pea from Maya

Over a week ago I received this lovely page but haven't shown it to you. Here it is.



Maya has sent me a page of the Princess and the Pea. I love the stitching on the pillows. The background of the room is painted on fabric and stitched. The carped is in a different material.

Thank you Maya for this nice page. My first exchanged fiber craft from India.

Silver Saucer and Transparent apple by Mandy

Yesterday I found a soft envelope in my mailbox. It came from Mandy. She has sent me an Russian fairy: "The tale of the silver saucer and the transparent apple". I didn't know the tale but read it today. Mandy had sent it with the fabric book page to me. It is a wonderful tale and she made a wonderful page for me.

Look at the photo. You can see the the apple made with light blue fabric and painted with some silver so that it is glittering. On top and on bottom of the apple there are two some words out of the fairy which the princes spoke when she span the apple around in the silver saucer. When she did it she could look through the apple to all places of the world. In front of the apple are photos printed on Jacquard Extrav Oganza semi transparent silk sheets. The background of the page is made with a experiment printing fabric.



This is the backside of the page:



There were a lot of goodies with in the envelope. I show them on the next photo:



Thank you very much for the fabric book page, the story and all the nice things.

Fairytales

I honestly didn't realise there were so many different fairytales to choose from.  Hundreds, litterally!  Oh My!  What's a girl to do?  Pick my favourite of course.  I've had this one fairytale that I've always loved, and so that is the one I have chosen.  Ann, you will have to wait to get your page before you'll find out what it is.  But I do hope you like it.

Here is a small peek.  And yes, I've just finished it for you.  Shall wrap it up safely with a few little goodies for you.  It was fun to make.  Thank you for encouraging me to go back to my childhood to find inspiration.
