Book Number Two




I'm almost done with the second book from the class I took...again, all finished except for the closure. I cut it so the stitching on the pocket piece would show even when it's closed. I really like the colors in the end papers too, so I used all six of them, one for each signature. Since this book is done in warm colors and I used gold & copper colored glass beads on the spine, I won't be using another silver colored conch. I've got some books from the library, some I borrowed and a couple of mine I'm going to check for ideas tonight.
Although tomorrow is may 1st, I probably won't be starting my bead journal just yet. There is a quilt show in a neighboring town and the opening of a co-op gallery that some friends are in, so I'll be out and about. If photos are allowed, I'll take some and share tomorrow.

I'm very curious about the decorative papers... did you paint them in class? Acrylic? Love your papers... so perfect to complement the color of the leather.
