Handmade Book Number Two

I made another book - slightly smaller than the first one.  It has a waxed cover and hand stitched embellishments.  This one is red and cream.

 I stamped a naughty little imp inside one of the pages.........

...... and an angry fairy on the first page!

I'm annoyed that the back star is not central.  I seem to spend forever and a day making something and always rush the last detail.  Hopefully I will get better the more I make them.

  1. love that the back cover star is off center! after all, from our perspective, stars are always on the move. Love this red one, Simone. I think you've got quite the knack for this.

    1. Thank you Lisa. They remind me of the characters I used to read about in books when I was a child. Very Enid Blyton! x
