Subversio Dolce

I stopped thinking clearly while making this book.


closed showing braided cord and tea-dyed parchment cover


opened flap showing the pencil pocket


a seriously overloaded modified leather binding


so, I thought a short jaunt into the oven to help dry out the book after the tea dying would be fine...instead, I...forgot it in the oven. the singed/burnt edges


interior pages with the tea dregs that burnt through the pages


just am thankful that I didn't forget it longer than 15 minutes! it probably would have set itself on fire...

  2. oh, it turned out nicely. i just wonder about the brittleness of the pages and cover.
