Well the bookmaking part of the class was today. Have a 4x5 little book filled with the paper I made yesterday. Turned out well. I made one piece of paper with a green leaf embedded in it and a couple pages with sparkly bits otherwise they were all a light blue. For the book cover I chose floral stripes in black and brown corduroy and pasted a blue inside cover. It looks like those expensive blank books you can buy.
I have to say I love taking art classes. Seriously thinking about the watercolor painting classes they have in June and July. I’ve never used watercolor before and their finished examples look professionally painted. Don’t know if I could compete you have to bring your own supplies and I have none. Not for that. But I knew nothing about paper makings befor this class….so maybe.
