my 3rd book!
i think it is ~50 pages
i tore the pages, instead of cutting it to give it a "rougher" look
I have to say that you are really good at making things. :) It's cool that you have put some thought into the papers used for each book, for me, I could have just sticked to using plain old white A4 paper. I like the soldier one, it looks really pretty and I think you have really achieved the 'old' feeling. Perhaps you could try designing some covers as well, like maybe sew an image of something in the cover or draw something? I think it would be really interesting. And maybe you can add some of your hand-made stuffed toys or beaded stuff to the end of the ribbon bookmarks?
