This patten is beautifully designed and turned out gorgeous. I was able to piece it within a few hours.
I used varying width strips from the three main fabrics to cut the pieces as I went. Once the sections were done, I found that basting them together with a long stitch to check for alignment was crucial for me. Who wants to pick out tiny stitches on long seams?!!!!
This is the beginning of a pillow that my 7 year old daughter is making with me for a friend of hers' birthday.

> About the leather: Stoned Oil Cowhide, burgundy.
This leather has a deep richness because it has been treated with oils and waxes in such a way that when the leather is pulled or stretched, the finish becomes lighter in the stretched areas, which gives an "Old World" effect or "aged" look. The color returns when heat or friction from rubbing a cloth or your hand is applied in that area. This is considered a mark of high quality and great news for those particular about the look of the journal! You can buff out any scratches or scuffs with your hands, or crunch up the leather for a worn look with more color contrast.
> About the paper: handmade Lokta paper
Lokta paper is completely natural, acid-free, and tree-free, handmade from the fiber of the Lokta bush - Daphne Papyraceae - using age-old papermaking traditions. The bush is a renewable resource with the ability to regenerate within six years.
> About the endpaper: handmade Egyptian papyrus
To protect the paper from oils in the leather, I use Papyrus, which was, and continues today to be handmade from the papyrus reed that grows in freshwater marshes along the river Nile. Egyptians considered it the "everlasting" paper because it has been found in perfect condition in tombs dating back to 2700 B.C. I love the wood-like texture and color variation.

The Paper House is literally a house made of paper; over 200 layers of newspaper (and lots varnish) make up the well-insulated walls. As top layers of the walls chip away, bits of old newspaper clippings are visible. Inside, the furniture is made out of paper. The house was built in the early 1922 and still stands firm and sound today. Mr. Elis F. Stenman, a mechanical engineer who designed the machines that make paper clips, began building his Rockport summer home out of paper as a hobby.
Update: 1000 Paper Cranes for Japan
A while ago I started putting all of my digital negatives on an external hard drive. In moving the old stuff, I also put some of the processed shots on my regular hard drive so that the screen saver slide show picks them up. I keep seeing this shot and thinking it is neat and wondering why I never did anything with it.
I used two sheets of Bristol 100 pound paper glued back-to-back to insure that the spirals stayed rigid in vertical position. The construction is sliceform.

I woke up this morning to find my twins had taken it upon themselves to "brighten" up my tessellation. With a little guidance and the oiling technique we ended up with a suprisingly intersting result. It's like stained glass when back lit.
I am hosting this wonderful swap with the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group, I created this Marie paper doll for Debi. I got the beautiful doll image from Becky www.flickr.com/photos/64325970@N03/8105382299/in/faves-de... . I put lace nylons and garters on her.
