BVCG - April 2020 Lettering Challenge - Booklet |
Created:
April 4, 2020 Now that all the days challenges are done, I needed some type of booklet to hold everything... Not that easy when you're working with accordion pages. All pages are 5.5"w x 4"h and the accordion length is 38.5" plus the tab at the end to attach to the next accordion... on Arches Text Wove paper. I was playing with double loading with watercolors, which I love doing, but hadn't done for a while... so decided that would be great for this last accordion week. There are no duplicates of combos... I used a Simply Simmons Chisel edge brush - either a #8 or #10 on Arches Text Wove paper. Shadowed the letters with a graphite pencil and paper stump. |
|
I used mat board for the construction and covered it with a striped Mulberry paper. Not what I had wanted but I pulled the wrong bunch of papers down and it was too hard to do it again for the paper I wanted... so I said c'est la vie. |
I put notches in the edge for my binding to stay in place. The accordion pages are removable if I want. Used 4ply waxed red bookbinding thread and just tied knots. |

I used a Zutter "Hang It All" clasp. The only problem, they're stiff so hooking the hook wasn't working. So I need to cut away small piece. If you look closely, you can se the hole on the left panel. Live and Learn. |
Even with the mistakes I'm pleased with the outcome. |
