...was a cat's cradle! ;)
Using pieces of cast-off green and brown leather...
...and a carved wooden button gifted to me by my friend, Elis...
...I proceeded to make a limp binding for this handmade book.
A leather thong acts as a tie closure.
The back of the book.
The closed book with a view of the waxed linen stitching...
...and the open book with the front page showing.
The finished book.
...but while visiting with my friend, Lorin...
...(who happens to be a book arts teacher)...
...I did get a couple of 'notions'. :)
Stay tuned for a few more of these bookish posts!

LOVE the cat!! Talk about being totally relaxed. WOW! LOL
The book is lovely too. :)
That's one very surprised-looking cat!
The binding looks lovely - the dark reddish-brown against that lovely lime green..
Thanks, ladies! I'm not sure whether Erykah enjoyed her brief 'modeling career'. ;)
