I love the felt ric rac that I have used on the front cover. I bought it from the UK and I seriously think that I need more. Pity about the exchange rate!!
A few imperfections in the layout - the penguin is on his way out of the book - but in my mind these add to the handmade appeal.
I used some of my hand dyed wool to do the blanket stitching around the edges and the binding is a little bit of gingham ribbon threaded through the blanket stitching along the spine.
The leaf page is very plain but maybe that adds to the contrast of styles in the different pages.
What a great book - love all the pages - but the owl is probably my favourite!! Love all the bright colours and texture you have used. I have never seen felt ric rac before!
ReplyDeleteYour book is lovely, and I think the penguin slightly escaping is cute!!
ReplyDeleteWow! How pretty. I'm sure it will be much loved.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely book. I think the penguin is my favourite and if he does escape you can send him over here. I live in the UK so it might be a bit of a trek for him but he could bring some felt ric rac back with him although I confess I have never seen any.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful book - my greatgranddaughter Fearne would love it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous book..the little owl is my favourite..I'm sure it will be treasured :D
ReplyDeleteYour book is gorgeous! All the pages are wonderful. I love the colours in the blanket stitch around the edges.
