m100 - made it!
a mere six months late i have finally finished - it has to be the biggest piece i've done so far, although it doesn't feel like the biggest in the stitching/making sense
if i had finished it within the target time it might have felt "bigger"
but first i made the labels for the reverse of the pages - hand-stitched on laminated dress pattern tissue and abaca tissue
this picture shows them out of sequence
and the other side
i went through several ideas for holding it together but in the end the use of fagotting stitches seemed to work best - i thought it would take ages and be really hard, but good preparation made the process quite enjoyable
it all folds down to a zig-zag book format
