This mysterious portrait of a woman graces a simple holder for a pad of Post-It notes. T his is the simplest thing imaginable, but I really like it. It's more about the papers and embellishments used than about bookbinding, but that's OK.
This is a simple piece of flecked purple cardstock with a square of mat board on the inside back to help it keep its shape. The paper is folded over and secured in front with a tiny dot of Velcro. Take a Post-It note pad, tear off the last sheet and stick the pad to the mat board backing inside the folder. fold it shut and drop it in a pocket or purse. Neat!
I've embellished the purple card stock with a piece of text I believe is Tibetan and a piece of coral-colored mulberry paper. The image of a mysterious woman has been in my image stash for years, always loved her but never knew quite what to do with her. So here she is. I colored the edge of her oval "frame" with a copper paint pen. Done.
