Finally!

What I mean is that I've finally made a book that I'm proud of! After much learning and practising I've made this book using 100% recycled paper pages and a cover made of brown kraft card.  The leaf on brown background is actually a piece of handmade paper (but not handmade by me) and I think it finishes it off nicely.  I bound it by sewing using off-white cotton string.  I'm really proud of this book and I hope it shows that I made it with a lot of love and care.

If you would like to have it for yourself or as a lovely gift it is available here.

Another Household Box Covered

Hi,

I think this is turning into a little project now!  Here is the latest box that I've covered with decorative paper.  I wasn't sure how the two different patterns would look together but they don't seem too bad now that the box is finished.  Again I used the Xyron 510 to put adhesive onto the bits of paper which makes the whole process quick and painless.

This is the box before:

It used to be the box for the exczema lotion that my kids have to use and I cut it down a bit so that I could put my marker pens and things in.  Not terribly exciting looking but it worked!

And here is it now after it's makeover:

     

Much better now, no?  And my work table (dining table!) is a brighter and happier place to be.
