Great news! I now have 10 books on my Etsy! Whoo! Actually, there's this part of me that says, "that's so lame, you should have 50 by now!" and then I find myself agreeing. It really is a lame milestone. I've been pretty slow about getting books made and posted. I do have 8 more books in the works though!
Anyways, here are some pictures of the two books I posted yesterday. The first is a longstitch book. I used recycled brown leather and some of the pink fabric from the pretty in pink book. I think it turned out great.
Had fun braiding the wrap around tie.
The next one is another cord bound book. This one also turned out great, and would be a good idea for a Father's day gift.
In honor of my 10 book milestone, I thought it would be fun to list 10 of my favorite books, in no particular order.
- The Twelve Days of Christmas, Illustrated by Sheilah Beckett
- Cinderella, Illustrated by K.Y. Craft
- Rose Daughter, by Robin McKinley (heck, insert any book by Robin McKinley here, and it'll work)
- The Host, by Stephenie Meyer
- The Wheel of Time Series, by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson (o.k., o.k., I know it's not one book, but you can't really read one without the others, can you?)
- The Fablehaven Series, by Brandon Mull (ditto)
- Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte
- Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen (question: is there anyone out there who has read this book and not liked it?)
- Harry Potter, by J.K. Rowling (and again, with the series)
- Ferdinand the bull, by Munro Leaf, illustrated by Robert Lawson
