It conveys the snow and sun exactly as you wanted and it is not overly done.<br />Having done a similar project in the past (and I work with fabric a lot) I can tell you that glue will indeed make the ultrasuede pucker. You could try an iron on interfacing of some sort (like Wonder Under); attaching the ultrasuede to the journal and then gluing the beaded piece to the ultrasuede. The problem is that the edges of the ultrasuede will eventually lift if you use a bonding agent of any kind. Your best bet is to make a journal cover out of the black ultrasuede and then, using a picot stitch with beads as Melody suggested, attach the beaded piece to the journal.<br /><br />Can't wait to see your next pieces!Sharon Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844810991923493630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21916797.post-42356432297230097942010-04-26T21:19:51.626-05:002010-04-26T21:19:51.626-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sharon Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844810991923493630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21916797.post-65454274696061988732010-04-16T03:21:46.973-05:002010-04-16T03:21:46.973-05:00Hi Cindy...

As all your work, you have such a gift for telling story with design.<br /><br />E6000 drives me crazy. I am so sensitive to the smell that I can't be around people who have used it to glue cabs to ultrasuede without starting to sneeze. Actually, I probably would sew the beading to the ultrasuede and then glue the ultrasuede to the journal using PVA, which is an acid-free, scent-free bookbinder's glue. You can probably find it at Michaels or Dick Blick on line. Coat both the ultrasuede and the surface of the journal with it... thin coating!... and let it dry for a couple of minutes until it feels tacky on your finger. Then apply the beading to the book, cover it with a tripple layer of towel, and put some weight on top of that (stack of books or canned goods). Don't peek for at least 12 hours. It should work like a charm!<br /><br />Hugs, Robin A.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21916797.post-13363560874174505002010-04-06T00:38:35.267-05:002010-04-06T00:38:35.267-05:00Wow, they look great!

However, for attaching a backing to a piece I usually do a 3 bead picot along the entire perimeter of the piece, which provides asweet little frame for the piece and prevents the possibility of bumps and puckers that you can get sometimes with glue.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901071749547792296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21916797.post-43573435929991936792010-03-26T07:04:23.166-05:002010-03-26T07:04:23.166-05:00How prettey, and it does indeed give the snow vs. ...How prettey, and it does indeed give the snow vs. sun feeling. I love what you did with the sequins in the snow. I'm not good at attaching thing to each other, only know from reading Robin A's books that she never uses glue for anything. However, that's a very personal choice, and sometimes it seems to make the most sense.
