where to store growing supply of ephemera
so none of these "books" are anything like the idea gleaned from the Net, mainly because I decided to use some earlier books made and then make a similar but not decorated couple of folders...
I haven't finished of course, this pile of ephemera are relatively newly made or bought...but it's been fun. I have a couple more books to revamp!
One of the paper dolls had an accident, I broke of her head, but with the notion that there is about a 100 over these two folders, I don't think it matters, and she was probably a pair... I had them jumbled up yesterday but now I've got a kind of "F/M" separation except where there are families...
the "vintage looking booklet" is not full...there are a few more pages that could have pockets and I've been trying out "pocket-making"

these are purpose made folders...so there are pockets on all sides to tuck in various sizes. The soft card was one of those "mistaken" buys, when I thought it was paper weight; but hey it's worked here!
these are handmade and embellished pockets
some of the pages needed strengthening...
this is an "on the side" pocket, which is actually a double pocket which is the same in next photo
this stripey thing has been cut...it's actually a type of banner; I just wanted to see if would work...
this showing how "stuffed" the little book has got
And it's now tied up..
I'm happy with how this has gone...
Especially since I have a "throat/eye" thing going on...
As soon as I started fiddling with cutters, glues etc...I felt a lot better
In case you thought, this would just stay like this...the ephemera is for other books...although none of the pink ephemera is here!
Comments
I love the word ephemera! like ancient Greek.
I wondered what you'd be doing with the paper families!
not reading the fine print at the store, and finding so many in the paper dolls packet is a bit of a problem...oh well, I doubt I will not run out of them!
