I have become a big fan of having a scrap piece of paper covering my craft table at all times. I wipe paintbrushes off on it. Stamp off stamps on it. Scribble on it when I am trying to think through ideas. I used to recycle the paper and then, the more I left it on the table, the more I liked all of the random colors, marks, shapes and patterns that began showing up. Now I treasure those papers and sometimes even intentionally add paint, ink, gesso to them. I decided to use one of the papers today. This is the back side of a piece of freezer paper that had been on my craft table. I cut it into two pieces and used it to cover two pieces of Davey board (board that you can use for bookmaking). I have no idea how I am going to go about making a book out of the covers, but I have been doing a little reading and research and I decided making the covers was a good first step! For the inside papers for the covers I used some beautiful handmade paper that my wonderful friend Doris had given me. Can't wait to see where I go next with this book! I will keep you posted! I'm having fun making pretty from my messy :)
