The Elephants Go Marching!
I was asked by a friend if I could make a book, any style, any colour, with elephants. I'm up to a challenge, and I knew I had some suitable materials to use. I actually ended up making three different books, and she will have to choose.
This is one I had made prior to her request. It's a little photo album with handmade paper from India on the cover, and locally made handmade papers from Botanical Paperworks:
Recently, I couldn't resist picking up this unloved book at a local thrift shop. The covers were perfect for one of my Rebound Journals:
And thirdly, I had a leftover piece of this great elephant print quilting fabric from when I made these pillow cases last year. I made my own bookcloth with it, and used it to cover recycled bookboard for this little book:
I'm curious to see which one she will choose! Which one would you choose?
