Me holding the spines up of the six books I made. They're done with Coptic stitch and embroidery thread, and they look super pretty! The ones with green covers are done in pink thread, and the ones with blue covers are sewn with yellow.
My new books spread out on the table. They're covered with different scrapbook papers, three of them with summery green/pink designs, and three of them with vaporwave type blue with neon colors.
And here are the finished books! They're not perfect, but I'm getting a lot of practice. These are made out of junk mail that I've cut up and collated, and the covers are from food packaging. I'm thinking of putting these up in my Ko-fi store eventually, though it […]

A photo of book themed paper art collage art that I made, inspired by Roald Dahl's "Matilda" that I made for my friends' indie bookstore here in New York City. It is various patterned paper in pink tones that have been cut and designed to look like stacks of books, with floral embellishments. Quote from "Matilda": "Somewhere in all of us is the power to change the world." Note: For anyone wondering, yes, that is my own handwriting.
"Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world."
~"Matilda"(Roald Dahl)
