Module Four–completion notes
Making paper in my utility room. I use the chest freezer as a table – just the right height and so convenient next to the sink, apart from the fact that you can’t open it whilst I am in action!
Chapter Eleven – revisited
Siân made a couple of suggestions in my feedback both of which I was keen to do. She wondered if the envelope which I had trapped under the drawn thread work on the back was a bit stark and would it be an idea to add some needle-weave. The second suggestion was to add a cord to the centre closing stick so it does not get lost.
I would not have thought about using the colours she suggested but I see the orange comes from the face of the mask and this tones everything down. The needle-weave was straightforward as I had done a lot in Chapter 6. I wound some dyed perlé round the stick and then plaited it before attaching to the front.
I am really pleased I followed these suggestions because everything blends well now, the drawn thread work is more interesting and hopefully the chopstick will not get lost!

Since posting this update I have had further thoughts about this folder. Two wide front sections makes the folder too cumbersome, the back is the perfect width. What I have now done is to tear back some of the paper frame surrounding the left hand drawn thread work (11.16) so the front pages fold over one another. The opening will have to change. Visually this may be better as the paper frames were the same width previously.

Chapter Eleven - part 1
Book structure related to “media” – changed my mind!
This folder will be useful and does link to my design source on media but I do not find the structure as exciting as the book fan or the double sided book. Perhaps I will have to keep those for the future!

Images 11.3 & 11.4
Images 11.5 & 11.6
