Bundle Book II

 

 

 

 

I so enjoyed making my last bundle book (inspired by the amazing eb),

 that I decided to make another one. 

 

 

This one ended up being a hard covered book,

bound using a decorated tea bag wrap along the spine

that extends over the front and back cover. 

 

 

 

When opened,

the pages spill out waiting to be discovered

 

 

 

each one a different size,

folded with numerous accordion style folds

 

 

decorated with  tea bag circles, holes, ink, paint, stiches and x's

 

 

 

something new on each page

 

 

and when the pages

are all put away

and the book is closed

it gets wrapped with a thin piece of fabric

that holds onto a small

bundle of branches

A Bundle of Inspiration

 

 

I love the beautiful creations at Be... Dream... Play...

 This creation inspired me to make my own little bundle book.

 

 

 

I bundled some pages and sticks,

 a tea bag decorated cover

 and a strip of sewn fabric to create this little book.

 

 

 

The pages were decorated with splashes of walnut ink, 

 bits of ink

 and pieces of decorated paper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The tea bag cover is actually two tea bags glued together for strength,

with layers of paint, ink and stampings,

a photo I took a few years ago,

and finished off with a layer of wax.

 

 

 

A whole bundle of inspiration wrapped together.
