teal & white mini book
2¼"w x 2¼"h x 2½" thick
300 sheets or 600 pages counting front & back
(150 sheets are 25% cotton white resume paper, 24 lb.; 150 sheets are terrestrial teal paper, 24 lb. - from Astrobrights, Wausau Paper Printing & Writing, L.L.C.)
made from white resume paper, terrestrial teal paper, cotton thread (with coptic stitch binding) and elastic; cover is made from a recycled gift bag, binder board and white resume paper (on inside cover)
the elastic used for this project was originally white, so i mixed light yellow green acrylic paint, pure yellow acrylic paint and white acrylic paint until i got a color to match the covers... then i mixed the (1 part) paint with 2 parts water for about 2-3 hours... when it was completely dry, i stretched the elastic to get rid of any stiffness; the white cotton thread used for the binding was soaked in the same acrylic paint/water mixture for about 1-2 hours... when it was completely dry, i waxed the thread with beeswax
