I love the effect you have achieved with the spirals and bleach on the black. Especially the final piece where I think you have used the wax as a resist and painted the bleach over the top and I think your choice of embelishments for the binding go great with the feel of the book.
A wonderful compliment to your piece on The Sketchbook Challenge. Your post there inspired me to return to some work I started on spirals about 5 years ago, thank you!
Thanks for that,Jackie,you spoke very clearly and it was easy to understand. Perhaps you could have held each sample at a good angle for the camera so we could have really looked at each "page"a little longer. I hope you will show the book when it's done. I love making fabric (or paper!) books too. Great stuff, let's have more.
