has been a recent focus over the past month or so. I had a nice little piece cotton that I batik waxed and dyed over the summer that I have been coveting and have finally put to use. 
I layered it over a piece of hand dyed and frayed indigo - using that double layer for the cover.
For the needle pages, I used some beautiful boiled teal and dusty blue wool. Inside the front cover is a little pocket with a ceramic blue button. The pocket will hold my small scissors.
The cover button is some kind of stone. I found it when I was visiting Asheville for a workshop a few months ago. It is really beautiful with all of its imperfections.In contemplating personal symbols for Jude's workshop, I realize that leaves hold a deep personal meaning for me. They are in all of my work. Even here.
I don't very often make things for myself, but I do just love this.
Final thought: Early this morning while I was outside quietly taking in the beauty accompanying the emergence of Spring - Gizmo was basking in the early morning sun and rolling in the dew.A glorious day in North Carolina.
