Floral mini-book challenge

Challenge is the right word! When I dreamed up my idea of a flower-shaped book for the challenge, it seemed such a good idea, but when I sent out my pages to the other participants there was a little wailing and, I suspect, some gnashing of teeth...

However, they all produced beautiful pages as you will see below. I decided that today would be the day that I put my book together. It would only take a few minutes, I told myself ...

My plans had included sewing the book with invisible thread ...

It took me four hours and three attempts, then once it was assembled I realised there was no way a cover would fit neatly onto it, so I now have a beautiful ... erm ... pendant mini-book!




I tried to put the names against each page, but being a bear of very little brain, I'm not clever enough for that, so I hope I get them in the right order. Pages are from Marion, Santtu, Roberta, Vivienne, Billie, Annie and Lynn.










The final page is my own, and is my first attempt at both tapestry stamps and flower soft.

On to the next project ...
