At that time I was really wanting to learn to fold WORDS into the pages of books... And now, I have!! I think this is really my niche. I love looking for just the right books and choosing just the right word(s).
As with all my creative endeavors, I rarely keep any for myself. Each time I've folded a book for my house it has left with a visitor or been purchased through my etsy shop. I think I'll fold one to keep soon!
Here are
A Love Story {just right for any day or anytime}
Akiva {special order, name}
Believe {this was for Christmas, the cover was pinecones and hollyberries}
{star} Cal {star}
for a brand new baby
Clark
Although this is my son's name, this was a special order last name

This is just a pillar fold, but I LOVE the endpages, they are flocked.

Everyone ought to have a creative outlet... What's yours??
I love this technique, so cool. I would like to commission you to do one for my grand kids. When and how can we talk about that? I do hit a lot of garage sales, maybe I start looking for old hard cover books first? Crazy Aunt Rose rosebud_9@msn.com
