A Little Birthday Book





This was a little mini book I made for Jo's birthday. I love how it turned out and it is fairly small and dainty. I used a page from a book which is over 80 yrs old and a colour catcher from the washing machine as the cover dyed with tea.

  1. That is so beautiful. Gifts are so much nicer when there's actually some thought put into them, and a totally handmade gift is so precious. The recipient is sure to love this amazing piece of art.
