Well, almost purple. There is some purple. It's purpl-y.
Black felt, painted tyvek, japanese brocade, papillion gold thread, seed beads. Why is it that these simple arrangements are so pleasing?
I have been storing my ATCs (The ones I haven't lost or given away) in my large art folio, which is a bit difficult to be getting out all the time, but last week, when I was at the opp shop, I spied a recipe book which gave me an idea for storing lots of ATCs
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture before I pulled it all apart, but as you can see above, the recipes were in little tab pages that would each old an ATC and also have room for a description.
So I pulled it all apart.
Then I put it back together again.
Created a new spine with iron on interfacing
Stacked the pairs into signatures (groups of pairs of pages)
And when I had enough signatures, I sewed it back together again.
This is the new spine, with my markings for spacing the blocks of signatures.
And
this is the new book, with my ATCs in it. I could only fit 120 in this
book, which is nearly full, a few spaces left, but I have plenty of
pages left to make into two new books for the rest of the year and this
is a much easier to access way to store them!
One problem solved, anyhow.
