  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     Vikings book - outside 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".
Back to the Top CD book -
                  outside  CD book - inside
The basis of this book is a discarded 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".

 Money
                  book outside

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".
