Books for Secrets



I have so many unfinished items on my desk these days,
but I finally finished a couple of small pocket books. 


I decorated the covers with bits of a copy of a drawing I did, 
and added some texture and colour. 


The pages inside the book are actually pockets 
that are decorated in a similar manner to the covers. 









This book is decorated with paint, bits of paper, and stamps rather than a drawing. 




The pockets are just waiting to hold secrets of some kind
be that poems, drawings, quotes, love notes or secret wishes.

  6. HI Kim, I love your colors and books. I would love to know what stamp you used on the cover of the golden yellow book. You called the stamp leaves. It is a kind of tall vine leaf. I really like it and would appreciate knowing who makes it. Thanks Cecilia

    1. Hi Cecilia - Thanks for your comment. I tried to contact you to answer you directly, but couldn't find your contact information. I didn't use a stamp on the golden book, but rather used a copy of a drawing I had made. I used a stamp on the other book, but it was one of my hand carved stamps. Kim
