Week Forty Seven - Jacobs Ladder

This is a Jacobs ladder book if the title did not give that away. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be but it's also my first time making one. It's made from an old deck of cards and pages from a phone book. It took me 3 tries before I got it right but I guess that just makes it better.

Week Forty Six - Snowflake Madness

As the title states, this week's book is snowflake themed. The cover is hand painted on canvas using a snowflake stencil, acrylic paint, and alcohol ink. The pages are from packaging paper. I also laminated a few snowflakes so they could be sewn in with the signatures. In the past 3 days I have cut out about 11 or so paper snowflakes, so I feel the title is appropriate. I have cut out Star Wars themed, pac-man, skulls and more.

Week Forty Five - Too Much Coffee

This week is apparently all about coffee. I used coffee sleeves as the pages inside and cut the covers to be the same shape as the coffee cup sleeves. Instead of sewing them together, I used book rings to bind it, which allows you to easily remove and add pages.
