assessment piece samples

No. 4 is a picture of the whole first page - but the camera colours are not good so I've included separate scans of the pieces for the colour.  This is the prototype for each page.

The tiled roof is made from fabric paper I made using computer generated images of newspapers. It has a ridge in blanket stitch with perle cotton.

The house is a piece of hand made paper with applied bricks of fabric paper made from computer images modified in photoshop. The window has little twisted cord bars and dyed knitting ribbon frames. The door is machine embroidered silk with a cord frame.

The garden is on handmade paper with one of my grid samples applied. The garden path is printed handmade paper held down with strips of dyed knitting ribbon over dyed silk waste - edged in the same knitting ribbon and flowers and shrubs added with silk waste and open and closed french knots.

The back of the house is unbricked - not sure whether I don't prefer this - and window and door treatments similar to the front.

A back.garden will be added to make the reverse page.

Each page will follow the same formula - the colourways and garden treatments will be slightly different to reflect the individual nature of the occupants.

Links will be - tiled roof - tiles same size - just different pictures - but tone the same.

                          bricks with the same colour pointing

                          window and door in the same place on each house

                          same garden gates at bottom of the garden for each house

                          garden path in same place for each house and all diamond pavers.

The front 'page' will have two flower pots in front of the house made of buttons which will have cords coiled around. The cords will uncoil to keep the book closed when it is not a panel.
