Some of you may remember the four teacup pages/signatures I made. These are really thick and most have at least three, sometimes four or more layers of papers and cardstock.
I found a book that was slightly larger than the signatures. I deconstructed the interior and added grunge board to the center. I glued the grunge board (shown under the book cover) in place using a strong glue. I then set it aside to dry.
When I thought it had dried, I measured the width of the grunge board
and divided it
into four lines where holes would be poked to hold each signature. Before that could happen, though, the edges needed to be trimmed and glued in place. More on this very soon, I hope.Thanks for dropping by today. Sorry I have nothing finished and prepared. However, thanks so much for stopping by, anyway.
So pretty :D
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your cover, and enjoy your weekend, hugs, VALERIE
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward (lots) to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great start! Can´t wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI love making books. Of any kind. I'm trying to figure out how to bind my holiday journal. Therefore, given what I just wrote, this looks like a fun project and I'll be interested to see how you finish it off. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you create with these. I really like the clamps you have. Thank you for joining FFO and coming back to leave a comment. I hope you are feeling better by now.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun project
ReplyDeleteI always like seeing things in progress Elizabeth... Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI just looked up various meanings of “grunge” and it was very interesting. I remember when “grungy” meant cruddy or dirty, but there are quite a few extensions of the meaning, including a brand of fiber board for craft projects, a type of bicycle part, and a type of music. Your project looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Coming along nicely
ReplyDeleteThat top image is striking. I feel better about some of the unusable books (outdated textbooks, gift books that aren't re-giftable) knowing now how creative people like you can use them for good :)
ReplyDeleteGoing to be really nice!
ReplyDeletePlease show it to us when it is done. :)
It will be fun to see how it ends up!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out Elizabeth.
