The
Minnesota Vikings, discarded CDs, money and
diamonds, phone numbers, and a mandala!
This collection of five unique little books is made from odds and ends in my studio. |
|
Back to the Top | This book is covered with piece of plush
fabric showing the Minnesota Vikings logo. It is
also embellished with gold braid. The binding is drum-fold, meaning that papers are glued together making each page a double thickness and, thus, resistant to ink bleed through. The book measures approximately 4.75" x 5" x .5". |

CD. It is embellished with a "jewel" containing
a flower. Each page was (laboriously) hand torn
in a semi-circular shape. The book is bound with long and kettle stitches. It measures approximately 4.75" (diameter) x .4". |

The covers of this book are two "tags" I made for an artists' group exchange. One side is embellished with play money and diamond jewels. The other is a piece of cardboard showing a nutcracker I got from the gods only know where. This side also has a jewel embellishment. The binding is drum-fold. The book measures approximately 3.25" x 1.25" x .25". |
