IT'S FINISHED!

I don't normally post on the weekends but I finished my book and I'm so happy. Here is a reminder of the assignment: select five random words and make a book. The words I selected were:
  • lew: tepid, lukewarm, weak
  • polytypic: having several types
  • chum: roommate or close friend
  • schedule: timetable, list
  • ironsmith: a worker of iron
Here is my thought process. I used the word Lew for my colour scheme. When I heard polytypic I knew I had to make more than one book. I decided to have the one book inside of the other like they are chums or roommates. I made the calendar for the word schedule and the buttons are metal for ironsmith. All in all I'm very pleased with how it came out. It definitely wasn't easy and half the time it was a pain in the ass but it was worth it for sure.






I stained the smaller book's pages with coffee; for no real reason except for that fact that it was the perfect colour and now it smells amazing.
And this is the aftermath... I'm just glad it's finally finished.

  2. You rock, sweet sister!! The finished product is nothing short of amazing. I love the way you carved out a spot on the front for the other book to fit into it. And I can on imagine how awesome it smells. WOW! I wish to see this in person. I'm sure the pictures don't even do it justice.
