Week Twenty Six - Chained

Well we are now half way through the year and this is my halfway book. This book doesn't have a full cover. It is sewn onto a band of paper and has a clay bead and a wax thread chain
for the closure. This book feels summery to me which is fitting since this week has been way too hot. I don't particularly like the summer.

Week Twenty Five - Exposed

I saw a book similar to this recently so I wanted to try it out. I found it interesting that the edges of the covers are raw so you can still see the book bored used to create a hard cover. I'm calling this book Exposed because you can see all the pieces: the stitching, knots, book bored and more. It feels like a very raw form of a book, not hiding what it is. I also have sewn in the end pages instead of gluing them in. Most the pages inside of this book are colorful and decorated.

Week Twenty Four - Hide Your Shit

This uses the method of a hard cover book but instead of pages you have a box. Great for hiding things, especially if you make the box look more like a book. For now I shall call it Hide Your Shit though I'm tempted to call it a coke box ;)

Week Twenty Three - Two Hands

This book is made from left over fabric from Art 2 Wear 2011. Everything is hand dyed and hand sewn. The pages are held inside with two bands, so when you fill up these pages you can take them out and slip in a new signature.
