Journals for Whispers

Following Jude's whispering series creates lots of ideas and suggestions. There aren't enough hours in the day to expand on all of them so I thought I'd make some little cloth journals where I could try out those ideas and suggestions. Somehow doing a little sample imprints it on my mind more than just reading or hearing about it. So I made three small journals. The pages are just muslin and there's lots of room to make little samples that will all be in one place.

first entry are thread beads

Found bunches of this wool thread at the thrift store a few weeks ago and decided to experiment with some crocheted flowers. It is all wool so I'm hoping it will felt after being washed. Don't have anything particular in mind----just playing.
