A textile book inspired by plant forms in my garden

I have a lot of fabrics that I have dyed and printed with flower and leaf forms,  often using the plants themselves, so this seemed to present a perfect opportunity for another book. I also used rusted fabrics, some leaf imprints using transfer dyes onto Evelon, beads, buttons, pieces of lace and both hand and machine stitching. There are three signatures, the spine is a piece of driftwood found on Hove beach and I used some polymer clay beads I had made a long time ago and which needed a home.
