Books, Book, and More Books!

So, since the name of this blog is Artistic Interpretations I figured that it is time that i actually post some of my artwork! I have been meaning to do this for a while, but time has not permitted, plus it's quite intimidating putting your work up on the internet! But I realized that no one looks at my blog anyway except for Shara and Mom! SO why not! So from now on I will be putting the name of this blog to use! First I want to say that I LOVE bookbinding! It's so fun to make books and be creative with the covers, I'm so excited about it, and there's tons of stuff that I want o experiment with! So first off, here are some of the books I have made over the course of this semester.

FYI: This leather book isn't done, this is just the cover.

This was my second book I made, the cover is ceder, and it smells so good!
This is a paper case book, with a ceramic button and hand stitching. I had a lot of fun with this one!
The following two books are rebound Books of Mormon, so fun! I bought the mini ones, and they turned out really nice.
Also this blue book has applique flowers on it, I got really excited about using those, it turned out really cute.

This book is a coptic binding, and it's the first book I've ever made! I love the cranes, and the paper has gold specks on it!

This book has cork paper for the cover, pretty neat, and a nice feeling to it. And this is another rebound mini Book of Mormon.
This is a clamshell box I made for a flat back dos e do book I made, you'll see what that is in the next picture.
Ta da! It's three books combined into one! And this book is going to be in a BYU art show this winter semester, it will be displayed in the library.
This was one I really like, I loved the tree paper and the ceramic button. So cute!

Anyway, that's some of what I've been making, I'm going to make a calfskin book next with the fur and everything, it will be really neat! I also bought some glitter paper!! That will be fun to experiment with! Well, as you see I've been having a lot of fun, and am going to keep on making these books! More posts to come, maybe next I'll put some drawings and paintings up!
