unintentional


twisted link and kettle
 
I call this one unintentional because I totally failed to notice the clear Christmas theme of the paper until midway through binding it. I had no intention of making Christmasy books for the Holiday Fair and yet, I did.

Series: Map Books

So libraries withdraw things from their collections and my library was withdrawing a guidebook to all of Europe. I was like, say it ain't so! and took advantage of having maps! in color! and made this series of map books sewn with coptic. Some of them had lined pages...some didn't...



let's see, I had London, Paris, Rome, Venice, Prague, Moscow, Berlin, Madrid, Dublin...
