Making a spiral bound journal

This week I have been continuing my adventures with book making under the expert tuition of Janina Maher. We made ringbinder journals, using a machine to make the holes and put in the spirals. I have learned a lot about the importance of accurate cutting of the paper! The paper I used for the cover is handmade from Thailand, and the inside is kraft paper.

Flip Flop Books

This week in my Mixed Media group we made " Flip Flop " books,

under the tuition on Janina Maher. We all had a kit and produced

two small books in a reversible cover.

It was great fun, and I am really pleased with my books!
