This is a tiny and lovely little thing, the perfect blank mini-journal to drop in a pocket or purse to jot down a phone number or address or capture a stray thought before it escapes. This mini-book measure 1 3/4" x 2".
This little book is put together like a codex, though the cover is soft rather than covered boards. For the cover I used a very pretty and delicate scrap of pale pink hand-made paper with a dried flower embedded in it. The 26 pages of lightweight cream-colored paper are glued in a perfect binding. The block is then glued to the spine. It's a simple, very straight-forward structure that works well on this scale, since there is little strain on it.
Book 184! I'm over the hump and now sliding down the far side. Only 181 to go!

ReplyDeleteSpent today Freecycling the tv I dont watch, clearing a couple of square feet of work/staging area. And have put together four boxes of books to try to sell on Monday. And drew #8. A very full day.
