Week Twenty Two - Corded

This is a cord bound book and I used the extra cording from the spine to create a tie closure. The inside is all blank paper. This was my first attempt at a cord bound book so I'm not sure I did it correctly but I made it work.

Week Twenty One - Itty Bitty Love

This is a very small book with a very small snap clasp. This book has a single pamphlet and I typed a few lyrics from Metallica's Loverman song inside. I've had a lot of random songs stuck in my head recently and Loverman is what I listen to when I need to get a song out of my head.

Week Twenty - Mind of a Child

This book is sewn with a Coptic stitch. I know I've been doing that one a bit but this is different than the others. This one was done using two needles and the stitching on the outside has the look of a straight stitch on a sewing machine.

I called this one the mind of a child because the inside is made up of paste paper done be children in a summer camp taught.

Week Nineteen - Bite Me

This book Is bound with a Coptic stitch and has a clay cover. I made the cover during camp with the kids. The prompt was faces so I used this rectangle slab to demo how to make facial features. I liked how it turned out so I put 3 holes in it and decided it should be part of the book challenge.
