I need to work out a better mounting system for the camera. <br /><br />That ribbon binding is so very good. I will definitely try it again. <br /><br />I am wondering if I can do a book ( like this but bigger) for Festival of Quilts. But I am also doing a quilt which I haven't started yet, so I might run out of time. We'll see. <br /><br />H xxLiving to work - working to livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355154288430953478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-59286115151726696652014-04-12T21:47:03.749+01:002014-04-12T21:47:03.749+01:00Finally found a minute to watch the video - it is ...Finally found a minute to watch the video - it is quite good for your first try and I not only enjoyed seeing the innards of the book that way but also hearing your voice. The video gives a much better idea of how pretty this book is - it would be fun to see how the recipient decides to fill it - as you say, hopefully with some pictures. Must look into that ribbon binding technique - really like that.<br /><br />And yes, it's always helpful when someone else groups colors for you... ;-)The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-48122111989732110082014-04-08T21:13:30.188+01:002014-04-08T21:13:30.188+01:00Thanks Julie.

Hoping that I may have fixed it now.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind comments. <br /><br />I love working with these new paints. They are helpfully produced in colour families which gives a very good starting point to build depth of colour. I am not too hot about colour theory so this helps no end. I guess these paints I love so much are the British equivalent of Golden Fluid Acrylics. <br /><br />As always, thanks for stopping by and for your comment.

I had somehow set the video to private! I think it is now 'public', and logic dictates that you should be able to see it, but because I could see it anyway it is difficult for me to be sure - it's all a bit of a mystery.<br /><br />Many thanks <br /><br />Hilary xx Living to work - working to livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355154288430953478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-10984119393233190432014-04-07T22:24:15.296+01:002014-04-07T22:24:15.296+01:00I really like the depth you get by stenciling the ...I really like the depth you get by stenciling the leaves with different values of the same color.
