Yesterday Cath, the owner of my favourite shop
Textile Artistry, and I ran a
Patti Culea Tome group. The Tome is a fabric book, and each page of the book shows a different technique. The next two photos show the front and back cover of the Tome which I made - in fact this is the second one I've made. I wanted to be sure I got it just right before the group got together. I met Patti about a year or so ago, at a doll workshop in Bendigo. She is so lovely, with a wonderful, bubbly personality. Seeing as though I was heading back to Melbourne, I was lucky enough to spend some more time with Patti driving her to the airport. You should check out the Tome series, especially if you're interested in learning the different techniques with all of those amazing textile materials that are out there now......
These are from the ladies in the group (lacking hair, face and embellishments). Most of the ladies managed to do the front and back cover to near completion - only the final touches left....... Can't wait to see them all finished!!
Today I made a couple of postcards. These are made with paper towel, foil and some FME. I'm really happy with how they turned out.

Take care and thankyou for your lovely comments, love Judy xx
they are wonderful, Dianne! and so the postard, beautiful!
Love your ladies with their glam hair Dianne, particularly the one on the right with her arm casually slung around the others. Fabulous! :-)
Beautiful, etravagant ladies!
Oooh this is absolutely wonderful and awesome stuff. Love it the colours the texture the everything!
Wow Di - love your Patti Culea Ladies - is that the pattern that was in the Quilting Arts Mag (or the CPS Mag - they run into each other for me!)? Looks like a very rewarding Class you gave - would love to see all the pieces finished. Great postcards too. Val
This looks great Dianne!
I'm just drooling over those first two photos. It's times like this when I wish I knew more about fabrics and sewing. Your work is simply gorgeous.
Fabulous work! I bet you make a great teacher too!
They are fantastic, Dianne. Love the postcards.
Hi!
First...before I forget in my amazement over these incredible photos...thanks for your kind, happy, and ever-so-nice comments on my blog...
Now, these ladies are absolutely fabulous. Please share more about your fabric book making ideas. I'm in the midst...accidentally, of course...of making a fabric book. I'm also quite lost in the undertaking. Since you've indicated that you've made at least one other volume....you are now my new EXPERT! Please share more photos...so I'll know where I need to go! I have only covers...nothing as fun or interesting as yours but covers that need HELP! What are the PAGES suppose to look like? You have presented images that are heavy on inspiration and quality! I look forward to seeing more...lots more!

Love the 'Patti Culea' ladies! and the postcards.
Oh, I love those books. They are so cute with the 'ladies'on the front page! What a nice idea to make a fabric book with different tecniques, wish I lived in a place where they give classes like that.
Like your postcards too :-))
The ladies are gorgeous! and the postcards are so beautiful!!
Gosh you're really powering along Dianne, so much beatiful work!
Dianne, your ladies are lovely and for some reason remind me of Klimt's work, I love his work too!
Well these are all just wonderful! I've always admired this particular project of Patty's.

Hi Dianne, this ladys are beautiful!!!
Found your blog through someone else's blogroll, and am I ever glad I did! Wonderfully creative pieces! I especially love the tome. I met Patty at a quilt show last year, and I thought she was fabulous, too.
