It works! The camera works! (Battery recharges will do that for you.) So, catching up...
Here's another recycled children's book, good old Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. (Sounds like the recent political debates... but only 5 dwarfs left... ooh, did I just say that? My bad. Sorry. No more politics.).
Snow White was one of my great favorite Disney films when I was a girl. So I love the classic Disney illustrations in this book. As usual, I cut out the book block and slit the cover case down the spine. Then I trimmed the cover boards close and bound the edge with some decorative red-and-gold washi tape. I folded up the signatures then folded more washi tape over the fold edges for a decorative accent--some in red/gold check and others in green/gold checks.
The book is bound with a single-needle coptic stitch, or chain stitch binding, with goldenrod waxed cotton thread.
One thing I reallyh like about this book (if I say it who shouldn't) is that it is really very well made. It makes a neat package and would probably appeal to a young girl (or an old lady like me who was once a young girl who loved Snow White).

I loved Snow white, too. Probably because I loved the dwarves more than the love story as a child. ;) The pictures bring back memories.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna!
ReplyDeleteI loved your Snow White blank book.
I am a librarian, so I love when you, in a kind way, improve the usefulness of a discarded old book. Your recycling techniques are very inspiring. Thanks for your perseverance!!
