This is the second in my Dreamsacpe series. The book measures (approx) 4" x 6" and is made from fabric which has been primed and painted. I have then included artwork which been added using permanent ink,paints and colour pigments. The words inside read 'come and join me,ride the breeze,over the mountains-we sparkle and scatter on the wind-' and are accompanied by a flow of dream images,finishing with a beautiful hand-pressed pansy flower, which has been carefully sealed to preserve. The book folds concertina style and ties neatly closed with a ribbon and the outer cover is also hand decorated with designs too.
