I had one bag that had lighter paper and it looks real good mixed in. This one page here is where I had to rip off some handles, so it makes a ratty kinda funky look...I like it! I had a total of 11 folded pages in the end, so I put a lighter page about every 2-3 pages, and it is all mixed in and lovely.
I finished it off with some green twine I had laying around (instead of the too-short ribbons I had in it the first time. It still lays out perfectly flat. I tied the three holed areas off individually, and then my twine peices were so long that I brought them all together in the middle and tied a bow. I ended up with 32 useable pages in my newly revised book. I would have 34 if I had used paper bag to line the covers!
Now on to letter C.

this is turning out to be a labour of love, and a lotta fun too. oops, didn't do my 'b', was busy doing my IF drawing...there's a word for me...busy!
ReplyDeleteI would have been fine with the printed pages, I might have just drawn on another piece of paper and taped or glued it on top though... Still, looks like an elegant solution to the problem!
