Art of the Fold - Envelope Book - This That Whatever


Size closed: 4.5"w x 5.75"h x 1/2thk
Our next challenge was to create an envelope booklet. So I raided an area in my art room I haven't been in in eons... and came across these invitation size envelopes which I will never use...so out they came...

Cut a slit in the spine area and adhere a piece of folded white cardstock (it was textured stuff that cracked a bit...) attaching 2 envelopes together. continued till all were attached. Then adhered the covers which I covered with a piece of inked/painted paper toweling I made EONS ago and landed in the same junk pile...

Inked a piece of the cardstock for the title (This That Whatever) using a pointed nib and Sumi ink in shaded base - Spencerian lettering I recently learned .

Yogi, your book is so cool that I looked up a YouTube video on how to make one. Maybe a variation, but what fun! I'll have to think on this. Most importantly it must have a purpose. Thanks for the inspiration!
