The theme for this week's whiplash was yarn. I have worked with yarn in the past, but I don't really ever feel motivated to knit anything except when its cold outside. So I worked off of the idea of a yarn as a story. This entry could also work for Use What You Have, because I pulled it together without buying anything!
I took the remnants of a silkscreen project I had and bound them up into three little books. I played around with different endpapers, but kept the sizes the same. The idea is to fill each book with a story or memory. This one is the story of a vacation to San Francisco that I took last summer with my two good friends, Jessey and Olga:
I used a simple binding of waxed cotton thread - I just love the little knot that surprises you in the middle of the book. (sorry this picture is a little dark!)
I'm experimenting with a new picture-hanging method in this photo: I've got an aluminum dowel suspended between two screw eye hooks, with tiny clips strung out along the entire width. Its a great way to display a rotating collection of paper items like prints, photos ... and these little memory books!
I love this! What beautiful little books, and such a perfect way to capture a memorable experience. Oh, and the display dowel is so clever!
Oh I love that little bird. Your memory book is beautiful!
These are beautiful! Nice take on the challenge.
Lovely!
