I found some interesting altered books on the internet. Fungi had been added to the book, to make it look as if the book was disintegrating with the fungi growing out of the book!
The fungi on the internet were made with paper. I thought I would have a go at making the designs in textiles and my first try was the Amanita above.
My completed altered book is below with an Amanita, bracket fungus, fairy cups and ink caps.
The next book I worked on was about Lichens and this I decorated with hand embroidered and crocheted Lichens as if they were taking over the book!
I then used paper clay to make an impression of a plant fossil and finally a fish from lutradur
Fossils is the next book I am working on so Watch this space!
I have now finished the fossil book. I made some ammonites from soft sculpt and then attached them to painted pelmet vilene. I them embroidered around them.
