Tiny Book
Drawing Challenge 174 TINY
I'd started to make a small book with a leather cover and hand made sturdy paper from my favourite paper mill for the inside signatures a few weeks ago, so decided to complete the prototype for this challenge. Here it is, warts and all...
I was going to use a 'peace' symbol charm, but as it is Sunday, decided on a 'cross' instead. I like the way it looks.
Here's the back, closed. The last picture shows what it might look like as a necklace. I placed a thinnish paper rope style here.
I wanted to figure out a few construction steps and managed them satisfactorily so it tickles me to see that I figured out how to use headbands and to install a small wire hanging loop that is unassuming visually, and how to manage the end papers and sewn binding. Now I feel confident to surge ahead and make some more. The size of this book closed is 1+1/8" Wide X 1+3/8" Tall. Thanks for popping by today; to see more offerings for this challenge of TINY, click onto this link where you will find our illustrious host Tammie! See you again soon, I hope, *smiles* Norma.

ReplyDeleteHi Norma! Happy Sunday to you! I hope your day was lovely. I wanted to thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed my one day adventure to the Alaskan coast. We have decided to go again tomorrow, although it is supposed to rain, and the leaves have mostly gone from the trees here. I also wanted to tell you that the tea bag creations I made with a light shining through are called luminaries.
