Made me a book

Dec 16, 2012 23:41

Now I've started messing around with making little books...er ta-daa?

This was actually very fun to do but that stitching was a pain and I'm not completely positive I did it right. Otherwise for a first try, not bad.



Picture on the front is a stamp done on scrapbook paper that's made to look like old newsprint. The colors look gross in the photo but they are actually way prettier, very nice blues and rustic prints

Ready to doodle in. Papers aren't as neatly lined up as I would have liked but ah well



And the back.

So there we are, we'll try this again later in the week.

EDIT: Omg I showed this to one of our patrons in the knitting group that meets here and she wanted to know how much I was CHARGING for them which I was like O_o I'd prefer to get the technique down-pat before I even start thinking about something like that! And my co-worker asked me to make one for her daughter for Christmas. Guess I found my calling!

In the meantime you guys on my mailing list might be getting a little book around the holidays to use as you see fit <3

art stuff, books, thoughtful
