a mother's day mini book

This is a mini book that I put together for my mom for Mother's Day! I meant to give it to her in person when we saw her on Sunday, but I left it at home on the counter. So, she got it a little late!

On the inside I filled it with collaged pretties and little thank yous for her.

upcycled book binding

So, I really enjoy going through the racks of vintage records at the thrift stores and estate sales to find cool old covers. I especially love children's record covers. I don't even own a record player anymore, but I just love the images. I thought it would be a great way to recycle/upcycle these covers if I I turned them into art journals.

So, here are the results...

Walt Disney's Songs for Bedtime!

Of course the best part about coptic binding is that the pages lie flat while you work!


And, here's another cool book made from the Carnival of the Animals record...

They will be for sale in my etsy shop!
