I really enjoy putting beads on my spine. One of the threads is left over from sewing the binding. The other pair of threads are created by tying a long piece of linen thread around the kettle stitch at the top.
I think I seriously dreamt up this project, and I am so happy to see it completed. It really matches what was in my head when I started, which feels great. This project was very complicated. If you missed any of the steps, this is what I did:
- Decorated the style stone
- Created the covers
- Added the floating element to the cover
- Assembled the book
All of the papers and most of the beads were from Club Scrap. The ribbon is a grosgrain ribbon from Stampin' Up!
I actually made one before this to test my technique out. I'll share that when I have a chance to finish the beading, take more pictures, and finish working on some Easter projects!
Your book is very pretty....if I had the courage, I would attempt to make this....great job :)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, Debra!
ReplyDeleteDeb, the way you set the style stone into the cover is awesome. I’ve never seen that before. The whole book is really very beautiful, and I love the beads you picked.
ReplyDeleteI tried my hand at making books quite awhile ago and know how much work is involved. You’ve become a master at tutorials; this set of posts is so inspiring.
This is just gorgeous, Deb. I love all the media you incorporated in the the project, and those beaded dangles are awesome. What a treasure!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I really enjoyed following along in the process too!
ReplyDeleteWow Deb! That is just stunning. I think it's amazing when that from a concept in your head it has come to life, and so beautifully too. And setting your style stone into the cover was inspired.
