On our first date, my husband took me to Northwest Bookfest. Really, he was a keeper from day one. Most of the day is a heady blur, but I do remember some of the amazing book art on display. And I was most impressed with the books that had been altered in some way. Growing up in a family that reverenced books to the degree we did, it had never occurred to me to take a sharp blade and some glue to one - the horror! So my world opened up to new ideas, I said "yes" 3 months later, and we are living happily ever after.
I thought about that day recently, when I saw an idea for a journal made from an old book. It looked fairly simple to do, and more than that it looked like fun. And it was. Here's a peek at the results:
What do you think? Seriously, they were so much fun, I think everyone should make them.
Of course, if you'd rather, you can find them in my shop.
