Yesterday I started a new project: a textile #scrollBook, something like an #artBook as a #scroll.
The photo shows my work to find a collage composition. When I'm satisfied with that sample, I'll fix the pieces with wild #embroidery. Later I'll "write" with #stitches. More info: alt text!

A wide band of cotton flannel, purple irregular dyeing with red tee. The fabric comes from the outer cloth of a cloth nappy that I wore as a baby. Gauze was used on the inside and flannel on the outside. Collage elements of sari silk, white lace and used teabags attached with pins. Colour spectrum: shades of purple, yellow-green. The elements will be fixed with intuitive embroidery in similar colours. Beside it my needle book (made from a vintage book) and scissors.

A large dark brown wooden spool with the purple fabric wound onto it. The antique bobbins come from old weaving mills. Dyed with red tea and fixed with salt, the fabric gets an interesting degraded colouring of blueish purple.

Example of a scroll book made with white tissue. A metal clip will hold the end to make it easier to roll up the book. You can either store it rolled up or hang it open on the wall.

Some of the white fabric in concentrated black tea. In a hot tea bath, after some hours, the fabric will be dyed in natural colours.

Am I the only one who hates puff stitches? I never want to see another one after this project

#crochet people am I alone in this? Am I doing something wrong?
