another convert to book making
our leather is all small
so we piece
he was cool with that limitation
he wanted red pages
and i use this wonderful old (but green) linen
i scored long ago
at a garage sale
ties off with a big plastic button
from my stash
he has poor skills, much enthusiasm
and is proud as a peacock
as he should be
in my yard
two treasures
an old piece of twill,
old gramicci climbing pants
on the well pump
tattered, but not rotting
yet
narcissi poking through on march 7
it was 62 degrees.
today a little cooler
tomorrow maybe a little snow.
a fine book indeed.

Jolly book, I love it. The piecing gives it lots more character, and the red pages are perfect.
