Créer des livres miniatures : de la reliure pour les débutants

Amazing...you are multi talented looking at variety of projects you do.

Aw shucks ;) I'm a "Jill of all trades, master of none."  For a while I was making wands and tiny brooms for the local metaphysical shops who were selling them. That involved harvesting, carving and shaping, pyrography, painting, beading, working with feathers, working with leather and fabric, creating my own ciphers ... it was a lot of moving parts for one product, lol!  But now that I'm 50 my poor hands can't take that much abuse.  One business dropped meta out of fear of the current environment; one went out of business; one went for cheap Chinese stuff. I lost all three in a week and was sooooo depressed. But ... making Skillshare a sort of full-time student situation has been making me so happy. I want to learn it all. ;)

Great for you.  Yes I love Skillshare it saved me during Covid and start of retirement. It sometimes is overwhelming with amount of classes as I jump all over the place and then don't finish what I started.  Keep on creating.

Wow! These are ADORABLE. I love how you've gone all out and made so many in different formats using different techniques. I look forward to seeing what you make next!

Thanks! I'm finding so much joy in creating (and using) these books, and my hubby enlisted me to make his mom a book for Mother's Day.  I now have a basket of books, lol. Thank you for this fun class!

Jen, What an impressive collection! In awe, Judy

Thanks -- I absolutely *love* these little books!  I'm going to redo the Kandinsky book spine once the black fabric dries, and my coptic stitching is very newbie. But I'm very happy with these. 

😀 Somebody’s energized celebrating book-making! Go, Jen!  Also, note pads are fun using special padding glue. There’s a class on that somewhere around here. If you buy padding glue check glue color first.

Yes, I used the plain glue and it looks kinda "meh" when it's clear. Shelley dyed her glue; I can't remember how but the next time I might try it. For now, I covered the spine with cloth. 

A lot of work in these tiny books but it was a lot of fun.
