of books and winners

It's giveaway day!  

48 of you left lovely comments on my last post and most of you were able to say at least one nice thing about yourself.  And since I kept making more little books all week, we have a total of TEN winners.  That's how much I like you guys.  and how much I like making books.

I see all of these as "blank" books.  Books that I hope you use for journals or notes or scraps or lists.  Books I fully expect you to add to with more paint and glue and paper and markers.

First name out of the hat was Jez!!!
She wins this little duct tape journal filled with my painted papers:

6"x5"


This next duct tape journal goes to my favorite Salamander Dreamer, Amy.
5.5"x8



this next one goes to Andria:
 6.5"x10"


The next one goes to Jill Eudaly
 4.5"x5"


This funny little junk journal goes to Lisa Wright which seems very fitting since she is the leader of the messy book group, and this book is full of all kinds of weird bits and scraps.
 5"x8:


This piano hinge book goes to Sunshine Shelle.  The cover is hand painted, and the pages are a variety of yummy handmade (but not made by me) papers.
 5"x6"


This next one's a blank notepad made from shipping tags, and it goes to Jaime
 4.5"x2.5"


Here's another little blank note pad, heading out to Julia (aka Pan's daughter)
 3.5"x4.5"


This wee one goes to Denise Mulligan
 3.5"x3.5"


and finally, the teeniest of the bunch goes to Carol (aka Bloody Frida)
 2.5"x2.5"

Thank you all so much for all the lovely comments you left.  It was killing me to not send something to everyone.  I have so many more books I want to make and so many lovely art friends.  I may just have to send out some surprises in the coming months....

  13. i am over the moon impressed with the piano hinge book.

    that is not to say that they aren't all really rad, but i don't think i've ever seen a piano hinge book (except in book making books, and let's face it - superhuman book binders make those books)

    xxa
