sunday book






a while back i purchased a bag from peg and awl
it arrived in short order, bringing with it a small bundle
of scraps 
and this is what i did with htem.
waxed cotton canvas is pretty nifty.
i haven't completed the tackets.
but it's a pretty nifty
structure.
thank you alisa golden!

  5. V- very cool way to use scraps - and such a strong book - could be used for sketching in the wild. B

  8. oh, Velma it's wonderful. Of course I love the fabric, looks like it could be dyed with kakishibu, some scraps. I need to try that construction. I received "the book" yesterday, it will take a month of Sundays to look through it!

  9. thanks, dian, it feels really differernt, in a good way. old fashioned, even.
    jean, i hadn't thought of kaki, but you're right. it does, however, feel like an army tent. grin, i hope you like it!

  10. Nifty yes - but there is real appeal about this little book. It has character. I wonder if you are going to work into it at all?

  11. susan, thanks for noticing. i will use it, for i see it as a substrate for a tale or a poem or a record or a map... not sure what, but it will become something. i'm leaving the cover attachment until i decide.
