green & yellow floral book
6"w x 9"h x 1¼" thick
100 sheets or 200 pages counting front & back
made from solar yellow paper, martian green paper, white cotton yarn (with coptic stitch binding) and elastic; cover is made from a recycled gift bag, binder board and cosmic orange paper (on the inside covers)
the elastic used for this project was originally white, so i soaked it in 1 part fuchsia acrylic paint and 2 parts water for about 3 hours... when it was completely dry, i stretched the elastic to get rid of any stiffness; the white cotton yarn used for the binding was soaked in 1 part petunia purple acrylic paint and 2 parts water for about 3 hours... when it was completely dry, i waxed the yarn with beeswax
also, i printed lines on both sides of the paper inside the book
