I found the instructions for this delightful little book with pockets on youtube (here<\/a>), and as I was painting small for the SAA Wall, saw a place to hold my own small treasures.\u00a0 Then I saw that the construction would allow me to design a Dragon to guard them.\u00a0 He would wind round the meandering strip nicely – but I’m getting ahead of myself. That’s a future project.\u00a0 So here is my first attempt.<\/p>\n

Making the book<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I used a sheet of marbled paper I had made eons ago on cartridge paper so it’s quite stout and will hold its shape easily.\u00a0 Folding the paper correctly was easy, but working out which edges to stick to make the little pockets was a little more complicated. \u00a0 I have a little tool which cuts the half moons in the top of each of the seven pockets neatly,\u00a0 if not always in the right place.\u00a0 Book cloth from the same era as the marbled paper covered the outside (strengthened by card) which I decorated with circles cut from the paper offcuts.\u00a0 It’s a nice little tool and I was enjoying it.<\/p>\n

Now I need to paint seven small treasures –\u00a0 a good discipline as I usually paint big.\u00a0 Seven is a number to conjure with- seven days in a week, seventh month of the year (July holds my birthday), the seven stars, or making it easy, seven small paintings I’m pleased with.<\/p>\n
