This week I taught some friends how to make a book. My friends have a mother/daughter art group that meets once a month to exercise their creativity. What a wonderful idea! I was invited to teach them how to create a small 4” x 4” book using decorative papers, matte boards, and a canvas spine. I learned to make this book at Art and Soul.

This was my first opportunity to teach a book project. I wrote very detailed directions – with photos – but I wasn’t sure how long the project would take. It ended up taking 4 ½ hours. My students were experienced crafters and they took lots of time being colorful and creative. The end products were fabulous.
