Scrolling through some projects from last year in the Creative Hand Lettering & Doodling with Lindsay (Waltman-Ostrom) group on Facebook, I found an Concertina Book with Pockets with the theme of All About Me. The project took a month to complete making the book and filling the pockets with Artist Trading Card sized art (2.5 in x 3.5 in.) A prompt list was supplied. I used most of the prompts but substituted a couple.
The book was made from 12 in x 12 in. cardstock cut in half with a 2 inch fold for the pocket. A hard cover was made with chipboard recycled from cracker boxes. The book has a ribbon and Baker's twin enclosure.
The title of the book is Moi and features a picture of myself and Ink. He loved to sit on my shoulder. The picture was colored with colored pencils.
I found the perfect charm, too. The letter, C for my first initial with a little blue crown.
Day 1:Hoisting My Colors.
A small flag with colored stripes of Royal Blue, Black, and Red. These colors are my wardrobe palette.
Blue: The Favorite Color, Royal Blue is fitting for a Little Princess
Black: For Ink and slimming fashion sense
Red: The secret color and a little naughty
Day 2 Spirit Animal(s)
I have two. Ink and a Black Bear
The Black Bear ATC was done for an exchange in 2007, but was perfect for the book.
Lovely post! Great pic of you with Ink on your shoulder. My Kitty used to drape herself round my neck like a fur collar. Well done on your beauifil little book!
