I never leave home without my sketchbook. This time it´s a blue one.
The edges of the book block were stippled with light blue ink.
Three ribbons were attached as bookmarks.
The cover paper was stamped with gesso for a resist effect that you see with the large white stars. After that was dry.... I painted the paper with acrylics and stamped some smaller stars. Once the book boards were covered.... I added the small quote made of the same painted paper.
A closer look at the cover paper and my favorite wave cut spine cloth."Art is just another way of keeping a diary."
Wednesday Stamper is featuring everything to do with Books this week.....go have a look.
