More books
More books to add to the collection. Inspiration from various sources - house one from a Mollie Makes book, some ideas from 'Making Books by a Hand' by Peter & Donna Thomas & stitched spines after a workshop with the lovely Lesley at Sue Browns. Bit behind with the book a day having been visiting family.

More books
I'm still making books! Day 3 is still in progress as I'm working further on the cover. Day 4 was inspired by a beautiful sky early that morning. Day 5 is the book I made for the Stroud monthly book group with a theme of 'Mind the Gap'. It has a slip case & two parts to it. Day 6 I went for a walk and loved all the colours of the autumn leaves so it is painted squares of colour. Day 7 was a busy day so just two little pamphlet stitched books with washi tape decoration. Day 8 was another busy day so a quick little book with wrap over cover. Day 9 is made up from pages of different lengths with images of lovely work in the blue colour range taken from a catalogue for Hampshire Open Studios (which sadly I didn't get to.) now onto today's book...!

Booktober challenge
Having been on a book making course at the end of September I've decided to challenge myself to have a 'Booktober' - trying to make a book a day this month. Two days in and two books made. I want to use stuff I already have as funds are low so the first one uses bits left over from the holiday sketchbooks I made recently. For the second one I looked through a box of bits and found this neat changeable cover. Rather like the idea and might make my own version later on. The pages came from an old school sketch book.
Does anyone feel like joining me in this challenge? Hope so as it would be fun to compare notes.
