Book




Look what I made this evening! I was tidying my work room and sat down to flick through a Alisa Golden book about bookmaking that Kari has loaned me and came upon a tab and slot book that is made without glue or stitching so I thought I'd have a go. I used envelopes that I'd been saving to sew into a book and got so carried away that I made a cover as well! Pics aren't superb as my digital camera doesn't zoom in well. ;-( I've included a scan of the front cover which is a bit clearer. It was good fun and easy to make even with my dodgy accuracy skills and, even though I probably should have been catching up of some of the commitments I'm stuck on, I'm glad I took the time to have a go.
