WIP: Leaf Art Book - 4 x 6 "
At some point during this last week of deliberations on various fronts, the issue of "many finished notebooks etc" came up. And as it seems not many people care to write in said kind of books, besides me and A.M., decided to change it up a bit...
I've not even reached the center page but then again, I've also been painting paper today, some in another soon to be artified book but also sheets of paper.

thanks....
It's now nearly complete, well the page pictures - 4.1/2 pages to be layered upon. But also the covers both front/back/inner. And then more words of a story.
so now it's become "a little green book of trees and leaves"
and I'm love with the idea of revamping the notebooks I made over last year...
It kind of fitted with what someone said late last year, about continuing to make books, and what about something similar to a 'zine ...
when this is done, the next book is about birds...fairly abstract ones...
I don't keep journals anymore … so just able to appreciate the beauty you've made.
"a little green book of trees and leaves" . . .
I think they could be called simply relaxing journals! kudos Catherine!
can't wait to see how you transform the ones you've made in the last year. :D
I sat here last evening flipping through this one, and got to a page (you've not seen) and thought "now this needs..." rifling through my little felt samples (they will run out at some point...but that's okay) and found one that will work - so it's laid upon the page to be a/stitched upon b/glued in...
I've not started the story as I think I need all the pages "ready" and there are way more pages that apparently a handmade zine usually has...maybe at some point I will find I have smaller number of paged notebooks or make smaller ones...time will tell!
Outer and Inner covers still need to be recreated but that won't really happen until the story unfolds.
Loved making them, even with all the pages, I did glue some together.
After I had completed - find still many supplies left over, so probably have to be some other "green" ...
