cranberry

























Every time I try a new format, it takes a while to adjust. This is smaller than I have worked before (though not by too much; I have made a lot of ATCs -- 3.5" x 2.5").

I'm finding that simplicity and contrast, which I tend to prefer anyway, are needed even more if it's going to work for me at this size.

As with any collage, the quality of your "found objects" has a great impact on the quality of your finished product. I love that conehead salt shaker I posted yesterday.....

My book is made, complete with a unique cover that is documented on my blog. Now to add some work to the pages each day. Thanks for a great idea!

You are welcome! I'm glad I spotted the little guy at the bookstore!

I LOVE your cover!!!! I've been thinking I need to make a better one -- thanks for the tutorial on how you made yours!

I am really liking the binder-ring binding. I have another little book with a conventional binding, and it is *much* harder to work in.
