Trudi This book is so interesting! It is incredible. I would not be afraid to add another signature or group of sigs, to plump it up, or to add wily-nily signature wrappers inside and little pockets etc. I know you have some pockets and maybe you could not let it scare you - add edges, whether with colour or tear the edges of those pockets or add gold foil bits. One of your masterpieces!!!
Ok, that is super cool and amazing. It's amazing because you got it finished and hanging up in the tree again!!! I am impressed. I have cut my muslin.......... I have found my gel medium........ I just put 12 large 18 x 18 x 18 inch boxes in front of the entrance to my paint supplies. sigh....I'm trying........honest! I move the boxes tomorrow. I get to the paint tomorrow. I post pictures tomorrow............ :)Bea
FAB-YOU-L-US.....will be leaving the book back in the tree for a while? will you post it again if you do after it's been out there? it's so incredible. nice to trust nature to do the right thing with it again......
Your project turned out amazing. The covers are simply stunning. Sorry it's taken me so long to get to your blog, but it was well worth it once I got here.
