We all selected our own theme and each participant made a 5 inch X 7 inch page up for everyone, which the recipient then makes into a book.
This one's theme is "Nature".(Yeah..I know...it's a bit "fishy" but that's nature isn't it?)
Using silver thread and a wavy stitch, I attached some sheer, shiny fabric to the base fabric, which is cotton with a fleck of silver thru' it, I attached the fish, which are cut from a piece of fabric that I have had stashed away for yonks...(NEVER, NEVER throw anything away...you never know when you are going to want it!!...vbg)...and then stuffed them with Dacron filling to make them raised from the base fabric. They have glass beads for eyes and pearls and glass beads for the water bubbles.
I used yarns for seaweed and floral fabric for coral. I attached some Cinamay strips to the bottom of each side, then added some of those wonderful silicone beads that I used on the mermaid ATCs to represent sand.
