Sorry it’s been so long. I hope those of you that have been trying to keep up with my books are still around. I’m so bad about posting lately.
It’s mostly because I’m in my last weeks of school. This week starts finals week – dread!
Book 109 – I made this book on April 28, my sister’s birthday. She picked out the paper (actually, she found it lying around in the art building), and told me I should make a book with it. So, I thought it was fitting to make the book on her birthday, since she picked the cover.
It’s a hand-painted snowy cityscape. I made the book pretty tall, maybe 10 inches, and about 3 and a half inches wide. It’s pages are graph paper.
Book 108 – April 27 – I tried to put each signature of papers about a half an inch to an inch away from the others. It didn’t turn out quite as well as I hoped – the book is too thick to stay closed…
Book 107 – April 26 – This is another one of my own style of homemade ring bound book/binder.
Book 106 – This one is a white cover with blue pages. Very simple. The glue I used to stick the cover to the pages ended up causing the pages to curve. I think I should have pressed it while it dried.
Book 105 – Easter Sunday – This one is a simple tiny folded book. It has three pages and purple duct tape covering the spine.
Book 104 – This one is weird… I folded a piece of yellow paper in half and then on one side cut it into strips, then I placed signatures on either side of the WHOLE part of the page, and made the strips the covers.
Book 103 – I tried to make a duct tape sleeve for this simple little black and white book, but it didn’t turn out quite the way I wanted it. The book fits a little bit tight.
Book 102 – Another book with a duct tape cover. This is my favorite so far. LOVE. I used silver eyelets for decoration and red duct tape. Turned out just the way I wanted it to… and it has notebook paper on the inside.
Another post coming up in a few minutes with the rest of the books I haven’t posted yet… There’s around 17 of them! It’s been forever!
