Not long ago I saw some lovely handmade cards in a store. The cards had small squares of paper that had been cut out of a book and the person had drawn onto them. Those cards inspired me to make this book.
(I love keeping track of where inspiration comes from!)
The book has a soft cover that I made with layers of paper, fabric and glue and is finished with a layer of paste wax.
The cover is decorated with a circle I cut out of an old book that I doodled onto.
and I liked it so much that I added one inside...
and then I went a bit dotty by deciding
to add a doodled on dot
to the centre of each of the 50 pages in the book.
I haven't decided if I will just add a few typewritten words to each page, or if I will handwrite around the dots.... or if this book will go to someone else to do with as they please.
Very nice. Love the simplicity of it.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of passing the book on to someone else. But will they add to it? It is wonderful as it is.
ReplyDeleteI agree. it is lovely the way it is. Very zen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. Hope you got my reply to your comment on my blog. Thank's again for the tip on the cold wax.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely book, the cover is just wondrous the way it looks soft and flexible. And your art in the circle.... love that too.
