Book Making

Last night my husband said that he was going out with some friends. I tried not to seem to pleased, as it meant that I could get on with my book making. I had another play this afternoon and managed to finish it. The cover is made of brown paper and encaustic wax. The pages are all made of card and when the cover is folded back on its self it forms a star as seen above. It was great fun to make and the instructions were fantastic, except I would cut a longer piece of ribbon next time. I would like to make another one but incorporate hand made paper, dyed and stitched into. Accurate measuring is the key to this book, both in the cutting of the pages and the stitching of the binding.
