Fabric accordion book

I went to stay with a friend for a few days and we made an Autumn accordion book. The base is pelmet vilene, covered with tea dyed fabric, lace and organza. Some of the pages I stamped a few images with tea dye distress ink. The leaves are cut out from pelmet vilene and painted with acrylic paints, and sewn on with free machine embroidery. We printed some Autumn sayings onto fabric and added them to the pages.

I love this book, it's a real treasure. I am always drawn to leaf shapes - they are so attractive and I love the way you have used them. The tea dyed fabrics really add to the whole autumnal effect.
