I ordered some silk cocoons at Mud Hollow on Etsy recently. I had some different ideas for ways to work with them. One of those ideas was to make a tiny book. It is coming along....I did some embroidery around the edge and added some pages.
The book reads "We all contain beautiful and delicate art."

I had to take a break from working with such a small thing. I will post the finished book soon though.

Excellent idea, these are magical!
wow thats quite incredible ........x
Wow, this is amazing! I would have never thought of the cocoons being used this way, but I am loving it! Can't wait to see more!
Very beautiful, Katie. And so different. Sure to catch the imagination of other artists. You need one giant size magnifying glass! xxDonna
What a wonderful use for the cocoons! I would never have thought of this and I'm glad that you did.
That is just so cool!
I usually have to take a break from working on a large thing ( when I do )
Hee hee
PERFECT teeny tiny book - and the quote is so sweet and so appropriate.
Great idea, Katie.

the cocoons are cool. I've got to figure out a way to incorporate them in my stuff. But not a tiny book -- too tiny for my fat hands!
Ohmy this is precious.I have always enjoyed working on a small scale.Hugs,Cat
what a fab idea Katie!
It looks amazing!
Hope you enjoy working with these.
I was waiting to see this post, can't believe what you've done here. I also like to work on small things, but don't know if I'd be good with these. They look so fragile! Your little book idea is very touching. :)
I've never seen a cocoon in person. Your's is so interesting I might have to find one myself.
how cute!!
what a fantastic idea. beautiful.
Awesome art, truly magnificent. Inspiring. It makes me want to do some felting, and embroider that felt! Check out my blog if you get a chance: www.mandyrussell.com
