i know i was supposed to post more on the book i made in the workshop yesterday, but i didn't get around to finishing it today. i am still working on a decision as to what to use it for before i get crazy with the embellishments.

the book pictured here, with this entry, is a small book i made today, with the same binding, only much smaller. this closed book measures approximately 7.5 x 4.75 x 1 inches. it is embellished with fiber, handmade 1x1 inch charms, a wooden spine, and buttons.

the paper is another piece (the first, actually) of that handmade paper i made the other day.

if you would like, you can take a peek inside of this book, with little hidden embellishments, or see the cover unfolded all the way over on flickr in my handmade book photo set.

i will post when the orange book is finished, promise.

off to teach my mom how to make this paper, in prep for making a book!
