Not much sewing going on around because my sewing machine is not being cooperative. Humph. A visit to the crazy lady at the nearest Brother dealer is necessary. But to avoid crafting withdrawal I have managed to make some things which do not directly involve my Brother. I'm loving lino printing. I have only made a couple so far, but it is seriously addictive. There is an inspiring Flickr group here.
The elephant image was taken from this brilliant Japanese fabric which I am hording for some special baby gear. When I have time and a working machine I'll be making some Amy Karol's bend-the-rules bibs.
The past week was a series of goodbyes. Two of my favourite people in the city have moved to far flung places. This guy has gone to work with children and youth in Aceh, Indonesia
The t-shirt was a no-sew solution using heat-n-bond. He liked it!
And my final exhibit is a book for Piet, my brilliant Dutch friend who is returning home after two years of fun and games in the Big Apple. All her friends and students (she worked with youth in the Bronx) made a page, and I made the covers and bound it.
very cool! i love the books, how did you bind them? -kb
