Teeny Tiny coins...

...have been stitched into the corners of each of the completed Hmong panels.

I got them as charms, so they came with little hanging loops...

...that I really didn't like, so I cut them off and sanded down the raw metal bits that were left!

I've sprayed the book and box papers with Brusho Sprays...

Now all I have to do is decorate around the pages...

...and make up the box :-)

(It'll have to wait a few days as I'm preparing for my Sashiko Workshop with Cardiff Quilters on Saturday!)

Philippine finale!

Here are the final couple of pages in the Philippines set...

....the first has a silhouette of one of the dragons sitting atop the Taoist temple in Cebu City (our first stop en route)...

I did this onto Brusho-sprayed watercolour paper with Indian ink then sprayed over it again when done.

Rubber stamps for Yin and Yang...and a yin-yang surrounded by the I Ching hexgrams.

...and the added bitties are some chinese coins and 3 polymer clay pieces I did some time ago (these are impressed with wooden chinese printers block - typeface)

The second is done with a Colouricious Hmong print block (onto hand-dyed and Brusho-sprayed abaca tissue)
