mussel book

Having had a fraught day yesterday with technology we drove to Dinas  Dinlle beach  and collected some shore debris for our project.

Today we are finishing off the first book from Findhorn...the mussel book

Looking at the entire page collection we have drawn to get an idea of what we want to work with

We divided the collection into two piles  each working from dark to light and stitched them....

The book with the pages

Madeleine suggested a black cover which worked beautifully with the shell/spine...

however we ended up using a litho print from our last collaboration of beach work, incorporating black and blue which echoes the mussels colours.

And here the finished book....really pleased with this
