Today's book is a simple, pretty accordion book large enough to use as an album/photo book for standard size snapshots. I mostly made it because I wanted to use this really beautiful paper on the outside. It's far prettier in person than in the photos because the maple leaves are done in metallics with gold and silver and a hint of aqua and purple--looks like they are something like Pearl-Ex powders. I've had this paper for ages and no longer have any idea where I got it, most probably from my sister.
The front and back covers are Davey board covered with the decorative paper. A thin blue ribbon was glued onto the inside of the back cover before gluing in the accordion pages, which are a pretty, faintly lined deep mustard color text weight paper. The ribbon ties it all closed.
z;pbr;u, whoops, that is LOVELY from one row down on the keys. But I kinda like it.
