Handmade Felt Book Covers

I tried so many times to get photos of the felt I made for these, but it was either too dark and they didn't come out, or they were weirdly orangey. So, I have no good photos until the pieces were made into covers, even Photoshop couldn't help! This is a cover I made for an A6 address book, I used an old gardening notebook I made for my girlfriend as inspiration. This is the front:


And this is the back, with silk carrier rods:


This is a cover for an A6 address book too, I used some stripey tops I got from wollknoll and some rainbow trilobal nylon:


This is a bigger one, a cover for an A5 diary or notebook. It is Merino and lots of different silk pieces. I can't decide which side I like best, so this is side one:


And this is side two:

    1. Thanks, Lyn :)
      I've used that fabric before actually, and I must have done a good job matching up the underneath wool because a few people thought the whole thing was an abstract wool painting!
