I've been traveling down the rabbit hole of book making lately and have had such a good time with it.
Cut some cardboard... fold some paper... use some glue... then do art inside!
This one's about 6"x 6" so each page spread is about 6"x 12". It turns out to be a place for 10 little art projects to live together.
These two are about 3"x 6 and opens to 3"x 12", just 4 pages long.
Perfect to stick in an envelope and mail as a get-well card or thinking-of-you card.
To get the pictures and encouraging quotes, I used mess-up pages from when I'd make the little year quote books.(See HERE, HERE, and HERE.)
Just 4 fun little pages about the birds who live here around our home.
This one I left opened up. it hangs like a mobile in my art room.
It's been so much fun to work on these little projects.
This kind is folded from one piece of paper and ends up with 4 pages about 3"x 4"
Now, I really need to get back to oil painting before I forget how!
That looks like a fun rabbit hole to go down!
ReplyDeleteSo enjoyable! And.... bonus... it uses up little bits and scraps of paper!
DeleteThese are really pretty projects. I used to do something similar - I cut and pasted ideas/photos I liked from magazines onto pages in a small ring binder. It was so enjoyable. If I had been able to draw and paint on those pages like you can, it would have been even more fun! I love that you hung one like a mobile in your art room.
ReplyDeleteCut... paste... draw... paint... tear... glue... Sounds a bit like 1st grade doesn't it!
