Tea - A Fiber Book - Page from Susie

Apologies, about not posting on this blog but I'm getting back on track.  

 Here's my latest page  for my fiber book on Tea which I received from Susie.
Don't you love those little ceramic cups? Equisite details which I really appreciate.

This is the back of the page. Teaspoons of sugar. Delightful.
Susie thank you for this beautifully detailed page.

Page for Francis - Book page Swap 2013

Francis' theme is Flowers and Gardens. Hope she likes the way I've interpreted her theme.

Tea - A Fiber Book - Page from Francis

The third page for my fiber book on tea is from Francis in Australia.
Francis has photographed her favourite tea pots from her collection and transfer printed them.

The reverse has a picture of a ride 'The Mad Hatter's Tea Party'  at a local amusement park. Even the little note has a cute little teapot charm.
Tea seems to be taken quite seriously in most countries as is evident from all the commercially printed fabrics available. Love the print of tea pots and cups Francis has used on her page.

Tea - A Fiber Book - Page from Teresa

The second page for my book on Tea is from Teresa.

Tea - A Fiber Book - page from Helen

 My fiber book in the 2013 fiber book page swap is based on the theme - Tea. I have a long association with tea. The first page I've received is from Helen in South Africa.
The page is made of tea bags stitched onto a shiny voile fabric and there are all manner of teapots inspired by flowers and vegetables attached to the teabags. Its a fantastic page which the photograph doesn't do justice to.  

Helen has sent me a tea bag of organic Rooibos tea to taste. I'll be saving the packet to make a page of different tea bag packets. 

A postcard of Table Mountain. Helen is lucky to get this fantastic view from certain rooms in her home.
Thank you Helen, its the beginning of a great book.

Book Page Swap 2013

There's a group of us on Stitchin Fingers who are doing a book page swap this year. Each of us has chosen a theme and every month each participant creates a page for another participant on their chosen theme. At the end of the swap each of us will get to compile the pages into a fiber book. My theme is Tea.     

This page is for Shelly whose theme is Vintage Bird.  

Detail of the page which is 8" x 8" and has a pocket on the reverse.

I must draw your attention to a collaborative art project being curated and exhibited by Danish artist Hanne Bang. The art project is called In a War Someone has to Die. Read more about it here or on facebook

I have to go buy a couple of handkerchiefs and get people to do some Malayalam and Tamil translation for me.

Won't you join in and embroider a handkerchief?
