What a great Workshop we had on Saturday at Art & Stitch - Gina Ferrarri came and taught us all how to make Bonded Books - everyone had a fabulous time and we all went home with either finished or nearly finished books.

We learnt several different techniques with lots of nice tips to make it all seem easier - Gina has the patience of a saint

The photos sort of show the start, painting the paper





Gina had bought lots of ivy leaves with her and we painted these

Then we made the cords - then look below at the finished articles aren't they all splended and so different in colour and style
