I cut my Genoa Bond paper into 4 pieces and folded in half for my signatures. Cut 2 slits to thread my spine pieces through which then had a  strip running vertically thru the folded spine sections to hold the signature in place.

The rest of the papers were cut to size to fit.

Added a narrow black elastic to hold it closed using a square silver brad to hold it in place.

Added the title on the cover in a shaded funky monoline style

Art of the Fold - Brush Booklet - Ideas

 

size closed: 5.5"w x 2"h x 1/4"thk

Our AofF for Oct is anything from Chapter 2 in Alisa Golden's 100 Bindings Book. She has some interesting booklets but I find her instructions lacking...

I had end strips from another project so decided to use them... Parchment paper and Genoa Bond paper. The binding is made from an end piece of a geli print.

I've been gathering funky lettering from my Pinterest feed and decided to use one of them... It's a bit large and time consuming but I really like the effects I can get with it.
