This second book centers around my photography (flowers) and the lettering..... The pages are 140lb watercolor paper with colors washed randomly on the pages.
my first stitched book binding - discovered how critical it is to measure accurately for the holes!
oops...kinda fuzzy.
multiple flower photos in each pocket; flower names starting with the letter make the background
yes, I don't have any "U" flowers - something to work on!
There are both things I love about the book and things I would change and many things I learned for future book efforts. I like that I fiddled and tweaked when I encountered a problem and figured out something to do without starting over.
Bravo Terrie!
ReplyDeleteStay inspired!
Oh Terrie, This came out so well. Love your pockets and photos. Nice, nice and nicer. xox
ReplyDeleteTerrie this is beautiful sweetie. Hmm will think on the U!! I love your book and your lettering is looking wonderful too, you should feel very proud sweetie.

ReplyDeleteoh, what a lovely book, Terrie! What a joy it must be to hold it your hands and pull out all those gorgeous flower photographs. What a great way to showcase many of your talents at once.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely book. I especially like the F. Making them into little pockets was a cool idea and the flower pics give the whole thing a colorful touch. Bookbinding is maybe my favorite thing to do.
