Looking back at the books with the notes and drawings in them, yes, they are precious, but with the blog, the notes are haphazard; the last entry was almost a year ago, even though the project has bee...

NUMBERS came back.....

Anita G. posted an article on - Dec 1, 2009, 4:00 pm
...and what I thought would be fabulous falls flat. The design is ok, but sewing it back to back isn't working with the majority of the pages. I'm receiving advice to just make the design and ...

All four pages were modified, these changes are the most visible. The octopus was designed to fit behind the seal better; the seal was modified but design work is still needed. Designing the blog wit...

As I was speaking with the person who's been sewing the prototypes, she pulled out NUMBERS to ask some questions. A 20-month old child was also in the room, and he wanted it immediately, since he ...

IN THE WATER 1st prototype sewn

Anita G. posted an article on - Nov 28, 2009, 5:37 am
And it looks fabulous. The images follow one another even as it is obvious that some pages will need to be redesigned. The fish, reduced a bit and brought down can fit behind the whale. Two other fish...

Self-publish or what?

Anita G. posted an article on - Nov 24, 2009, 9:02 am
It all comes down to a few things: 1. Creative license: I now possess complete creative control over the titles. With a publisher, I wonder how much, if any, I would lose. Possibly, a publisher would ...

Cat Revise

Anita G. posted an article on - Nov 23, 2009, 4:34 pm
The outline will always be a problem. I figure that the die cut would cut them perfectly, but how to center them? A hard black stitch would ruin it. I might have to settle for no outline. But, then th...

Thread issues

Anita G. posted an article on - Aug 20, 2009, 12:15 pm
Oddly enough, the thread sent to the seamstress--which worked perfectly with the rayon/wool blend--does not work well with the 100% wool felt. The wool felt books are prototypes anyway, to be used for...
