Buku Hantaran: Pretty Pink

Pretty pink ain't it... 100 flowers (more or less) individually glued down one at a time... Here's how they look together! Pink and girly and curly ribbons she asked. You got it.

I can't help but think I OD-ed on the curly ribbons part... Well, Rona was pretty happy when I delivered them to her. She got her siblings to carry one each cos they came with the instructions 'do-not-place-anything-on-top' cos don't want to flatten out the ribbons then it'll spoil the look of things. Rona got a bunch of other instructions as well, her function will be beginning of next month so gotta make sure they stay as pristine as possible up until then.
It was a bit sad letting them go, but I'm well happy that Rona loves them. That made it worth it.

Jigsaw Family Fun Day
This afternoon will be alot of fun. I have volunteered to help out with the kids face painting. We had a workshop the other day to try out the paints and see what works or not. So this afternoon, people are going to be volunteering their faces as canvases for me to paint on! Last year when I helped out, I was a bit stressed cos I wasn't familiar how to use the paints to full effects and it took a while to get the paint to work. There're several stencil templates we could use as well this year, but unfortunately we could only use them at a max of four times, but it's ok. So, if you got nothing to do this afternoon, make your way down to Kiarong for the the fun day, there're a bunch of other activities as well too.

Dos-a-dos Embossed Green

This one is nice, used art paper for the single sections, so the individual pages are quite thick. I think this was made right after the blue snake skin, used the same binding method for the spine and added on some more on the cover to emphasize the flowers. I love embossed paper. I love embossed anything. I love embossing!

The end paper in the cover have that chain stitching detail on it. It's really nice when it's a large sheet. I think I'm down to the last sheet now. No, wait, just had a look, to the last half sheet. It's spread out on the table at the moment. Dos-a-dos books are always fun to make. They never stay long with me, someone always seems to want them. So, who's after this one?

The Knife Slipped...
It must be the heavy eyes, mind shutting down, late nights in the studio, working away on a book when it happened...
Normally I'd use the rotary cutter, tonight, I decided to not bother and cut with the cutter in hand...
The knife slipped...
Bled all over the book...
I think it's time to stop and get some sleep - after cleaning up the crimson red fluid that's spilling out from the wound.
It'll probably throb tomorrow.
