Hand Made Book



A little book I made yesterday - I stripped the front paper off some corrugated cardboard then inked it with autumny colours. I put on my name plate and then cut some bamboo skewers to fit in all the grooves - leaving the middle 4 for a spine. I added some papers to the inside with a paper fastener and elastic band. I then finished off by making my closure with a pebble I'd found in the garden and some raffia.

I got this idea from a book I'd got out of the library "Sticks and Stones" by Mary Maguire

This is my entry for the Simon Says challenge
