I began by folding paper and stitching the crease to create the spine of a booklet.
I wanted my booklet to relate to a tree so I cut cardboard into circles to mimic a tree stump before layering tissue paper and painting it to create texture. I gave the cardboard of the front cover a crease before sticking the pages in to allow the book to open fully.
Booklet pages, I used watercolour, brush pens, brown paper, embroidery thread, acrylic, string and a variety of paints to cretaes marks related to my initial mark making pieces. After the pages had dried I glued the book covers together and stuck the booklet pages in.
Finished booklet.
