Day 57-Accordion Book - From My Desk - "Sticky Side Up"

Tonight I decided to make a book using only materials and tools I could find on my desk. (Luckily for me, my desk is more than a little cluttered.) Some of the items I considered using:
* a spool of copper wire
* a copy of "The Week" magazine
* supermarket receipts
* a roll of waxed linen thread
* an orphan earring
* a paperback book (but I hadn't finished it yet)
* bills (better than paying them, right?)
* a carved pine bark tortoise
* a wooden ruler

What I finally ended up using was actually pretty mundane by comparison: some purple Post-it notes, pictures cut from a brochure on Arizona's scenic byways, a glue stick, scissors, a black marking pen, and a piece of red nylon thread. The brochure actually makes sense when you consider that we have an official Arizona Tourist Information Center connected to our store and my desk in IN that visitor center.

I tore off the Post-It notes, turned them sticky side up and alternated sticking them to each other in an accordion pattern. I cut a couple of pretty pictures from the brochure, doubled them over for extra stability, edged them with black marker and glued them to the Post-its with the glue stick. I sandwiched the red thread  between the back cover and the last Post-it for a tie closure.

There you have it, a pretty little accordion book that is neither archival nor very sturdy but it's today's book.
