Books for a Good Cause
Little Syam, my book-binding mentor, is collecting handmade books for KIWANIS charity mini bazaar this Sunday and as a contribution I made these 3 books. The covers are mainly handstamped and hand-painted, and I'm quite pleased with the final results. I think I can improve further on the book closure though.
From left to right (clockwise): A5 kettle-stitch book "the quieter you become the more you can hear", A6 kettle-stitch book "ART is a SHADOW of what a person is thinking", A6 coptic-stitch book "A dream is a WISH your HEART makes", (Rubber Stamps by Tim Holtz, Stampendous, Hero Arts & Unity)
