Books!

• October 29th, 2006 • • Uncategorized •

I went out and indulged myself today!

I bought pretty pink papers with girly things on them, some poly clay, some mull and some davey board.

The papers, mull and davey board became: an adorable diary/note book! Well, it’d be more adorable if I had some more practice making books. In the week prior, I bound an old book block so that I would have a sketchbook again. I always have trouble with the spines! They’re never quite right. The sketchbook’s spine was much too far from the block. Despite the fact that this is an error, I can slide a pencil in the gap, thus making it a very handy mistake. Today’s book is MUCH too tight. It can’t open very well, thus defeating its purpose as a note book. I really need to dig up my old book binding notes so I can remember how to do all of this correctly; sewing signatures was peppered with much cursing.

The poly clay became: CUPCAKES! Yes, I made some cute little pink cupcakes, an ice cream cone and a little weenie dog. I haven’t actually sculpted anything in roughly five years, but who are we kidding, cupcakes aren’t too complicated. I think I’m going to make them into jewelry. Do I smell Christmas?!

Now I just need to post some pictures…
