I LOVE YOU - Teeny, Tiny, Valentine Blizzard BOOK in Masu Box
Description
This special, teeny, tiny Valentine's book is a dinky little version of a 'Blizzard' book. I designed it to fit in a tiny masu box with a matching cover smothered in love hearts. It took a while to create this design with all sorts of digital shenanigans but it was worth it for the result.
As this is such a small book, I decided to make the cover and concertina pages with one piece of paper which slots into the spine piece.
This binding is very springy so the book will stand up on its own to display your message. Once inside the box, the book will want to escape and almost jumps out when you open the lid!
The inks are archival for longevity (70-100 years) so the colour should last as long as your love, if not longer!
The front cover reads: LOVE YOU
The back cover reads: REAL LOVE
The pages read: I L O V E Y O U
This would make a delightful surprise gift for the one you love.

Inspiration
I love making books, the materials, the process, the tactile qualities involved in bookbinding, the design process. It's all great fun and very rewarding. It's lovely to hold in your hand, the results of your own labour.
Having taught for too many years than I care to remember, I love the teaching process, too.
Bookbinding is an area of craft that some find daunting. I believe in demystifying processes. This craft encompasses an enormous range of skills and therefore can be approached by anyone!
Most people do not have time or opportunity to achieve the great heights of the greatest of 'fine' binders, but one can still make beautiful, artistic and functional objects, limited only by one's imagination!
My tutorials and kits will start you off on the design and making process. Some customers find inspiration with just one tutorial or kit, others have purchased nearly every one!
