Lynn's Book Cover is Done!

I first drew the picture of all of us in my sketchbook. Then I copied the drawing onto a white silk inkjetprinting sheet. I felted one soul sisters clothing (me) first in line bottom in blues; and then colored the rest using fabric pens, other colored pens and markers.

I was going to felt them all but it contorted the fabric too much so changed

my mind. The second photo is the back of my cover; off white muslin, batting between front

and back for quilting;

the machine felted fabrics show through in blue;

the bobbin thread is metallic red.

The circle shows our countries and states represented;

the letters across the shirts spell out Soul Sisters

the letters across the skirts spells ARTY

I have begun my first page and when it's done I will be mailing both

cover and page off to Suki!
My book is 12" X 7 1/2" including

one side for gluing to the next page.

I liked going a little larger and hope this works for the rest of you.
Suki and each subsequent artist will make one 12" X 7" page with half an inch left over

for gluing and the pages will fold back one on the other in an accordian style

but no one page will be folded itself. Each will lay flat.

My book has no theme so each artist can do their own thing!

The pages will be eclectic.

When the book returns to me I will tie it all together with yarn of some sort.
