Mary said: I finally finished my little book and will be sending it to my friend, Karen, in Mosier, Oregon. Each of the little pockets of the book contain a tag or inchie or? There are many surprises in the pages. I tied some colorful fibers to tiny shells and beads for the finishing touch.
April found the neatest coordinating papers to make her book out of. She always comes up with the most fascinating decoration and puts a lot of thought into it. She used brads, stamping, pens, making tags, assorted threads to decorate her book. I wasn't sure if she said she was keeping this one or giving it to a friend. All of us used hand dyed or painted binding that Jan had given us. It not only holds the book together, but is beautiful at the same time. Boy, did we make a big mess on Pinky's table!
Karen worked on two little books today. Her other book is at the upper left corner and will be included when I show a pic of all the books together. I apologize for not keeping better track this time of who's was who. Both of her books had stamping on them and so colorful. She made her pages on this one from pages Jan had made herself...beautiful colors.
This little book was so fun! I made inchies and little tags to fit inside each page. I still have to add some threads for a book mark and some charms and possibly something different to go on the front. The book on the right upper corner was made by Karen. She is so good at reusing to make something spectacular!
