So I gathered some papers, paints, and my handy-dandy bone folder and got to work on a sweet accordion mini-book.
Check out the video below for a peek into my process. :)

ReplyDeleteDefinitely on the TO DO list! Great project… thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love your little books and totally enjoyed watching you make this beauty … thank you for showing us how you made it , I just want to play now !!
ReplyDeleteWas that cold press watercolor paper? 140#? I tend to have issues folding even with a bone folder.
ReplyDeleteIt is. It is from a 12”x18” Canson pad. Scoring the paper before folding helps. Also, If the grain of the paper runs the same direction as the folds the paper will fold easier too. Hope that helps!
DeleteAbsolutely love this project and cannot wait till the stencils arrive. Might have to try it out with others in the meantime. I’ve been in a book making mood lately :)
ReplyDeleteHow delightful and inspiring watching you make this beautiful booklet - your booklets are perfection. Thanks, Kirsten!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fabulous, Kirsten! Thank you for sharing your ideas!
