Three simple books

[treeskin]

5 1/2" wide x 8 11/16" long x 3/16" deep (including covers). 40 pages. Text block is 8 1/2 x 11" ivory linen-textured paper scrounged from the dumpster at work, with endpaper and flypages in a grey-toned linen paper. Cover is cardstock covered in a pale blue flecked paper (once again, dumpster-diving), and the blue-violet fabric on the spine is leftover from SCA sewing years and years ago.

This one is from a set of instructions I found online. The site recommended sewing with only 3 holes; I'm going to try 5 next time, 3 doesn't seem that secure. But it's a nice little book, otherwise. And I'm going to iron and starch the spine fabric first next time, I'm sure that'll make it easier to handle.




I got this idea from a pic posted on handmadebooks a couple of months ago.

Both are 2 3/4" tall x 2 1/2" wide x 3/8" deep (including covers)for the blue and purple one, and 5/16" deep for the all-purple one. Text blocks are a fairly stiff almost-cardstock I found in the dumpster (in strips conveniently 2 2/3" tall). Covers are parts of leftover advertising posters from Lyric Opera's production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", given to me by sdemory. One of the covers has been accented with bits of a pale blue flecked paper I've scrounged lots of. The all-purple one has 2 signatures and 28 pages. The blue and purple one has 3 signatures and 44 pages.



The text block is under the flap at the top of the picture.

Sorry about that. MY typing strikes again. Think it's fixed now.

Could I get you and your faster connection to check the rest of them for me?
