More Readers’ Books
I love it when readers of my blog and newsletter send me photos of their handmade books, especially when they’ve followed one of my tutorials. I’m delighted to share 3 artists’ work today:
Mary B created a Double Pamphlet stitched notebook with a gelli print cover (see tutorial here) to use at her book club. I love the deli paper accents she included and the stamping on the pages. You can check out more of Mary’s work on her blog, Me With My Head in the Clouds.
Mandy A made this adorable fold out book for her granddaughter’s birthday party. She made it a while ago, but it’s similar to the Dragon Book I made a few weeks ago.
And finally, Linda S created this wonderful gelli print covered box and book – don’ you love those rich earth tones paired with the teal? Gorgeous!
If you’ve made a book inspired by something you read on the blog or a tutorial you followed, please leave a comment, drop me an email alimanning@charter.net or leave message on the Facebook page – I’d love to share your work.
Happy book making!

I thanked you offline but want the record to show how much your support means to me. I was able to share your post with the owner of the “Robin” book. It makes a story she can share.
