One World - One Heart Give Away

2/12/09 Update:I did the drawing this morning and Gabby is the winner! I'm waiting her details to send out this book. Check out her blog at Colorful Adventures, her creations are gorgeous.
I'm happy to participating in the One World - One Heart Giveaway for the second time. This year I am giving away this Fabric Purse Pocket Book (Info on how to enter below).

1. Leave a comment with this post, including your email address, so I can contact the winner.
2. Comments must be made by midnight PST on Feb 11th.
Winner will be drawn, announced and contacted on Feb 12th.
Remember to be eligible, leave a comment with this post, including your email address by midnight PST Feb. 11th.
3. Please note, only the book in this post is being given away. As noted in the other posts, those fabric books have been sent to specific people. These are one of a kind books. I made no duplicates. (info update 3/4/09)
If you want to learn more about One World - One Heart Give Away, click on their logo (large blue circle) in the right hand column on my blog. You'll see a list of other participating artists. go have fun!
If you're curious on how I made this book, read on.
The book is based on a design by Belinda in the Jan/Feb issue of ClothPaperScissors. I used the templates included with the article to cut out purple felt. Then sewed Batik fabrics onto the felt with variegated thread in decorative stitches.
For the inside covers I stamped on some flourishes with gold Lumiere paint. (If you do this make sure you wash the paint off your stamps as soon as possible.)
Then stamped some butterfly images with light purple Fabrico ink.
Sewed on a pre-printed "word" ribbon to the inside covers and attached decorative metal frame with brads.
I used black Versafine ink to stamp on words and sayings to the fabric pages. The images are printed onto gessoed canvas paper. The pages were sewn together with decorative fiber and more fibers were tied onto the main fiber. The heart and dragonfly embellishments were colored with dark brown alcohol ink and then with copper metallic mixative. The heart was tied on to the cover and the dragonflies sewn on to each of the pocket flaps.
