DIY // Back to Scrap

So today Emily and I went back to Sunny Bank Mills and back to Scrap to do some of the photography from our zines.  The building was so inspiring that I found it hard to stop taking photo's!  We also managed to pick up further materials to help us produce more crafts for the project.

Photo's to come...

So the Therapy Zine is now coming together, after we've done the photography for the dream catchers and folded books.

We have now spent time planning for the Fabric Zine which is going to be more of a focus of mine as the crafts I generate are often quite textiley.  

Here's a quick list of things you can expect to see throughout this Zine:

• Tie Dye
• Veg Dye
• Bunting
• Hanging Owls
• Quotes - get stitching.  Also we would like to join a stitch n bitch or knit and natter, to collect funny overheard quotes from knitters and natterers, as we imagine the kind of jargon they use could be quite specific and generally a group of womens conversations could be quite funny.
• Experimentation with different stitch techniques used on sewing machine
• Embroidery
• Embroidery Ring Art
• Button Pages
• Applique Design
• Materials Photographs
• Crochet
• Weaving of Sticks (You'll see what I mean eventually)

Here's a list of what I need to do for the Therapy Zine:

• I need to create some sort of tutorial to show have I have done the book folding (however it should be pretty self explanatory)
• A page marker as we are each making our own for our books.  I thought perhaps mine could be the friendship bracelet I learned how to knot.
