Scribbled Lives 2022 Bound

I'm on a roll and now 2022 for Scribbled Lives is bound... 16 pages plus covers

Size: 8.5"w x 11" h x 1.5" thk
I mounted the artwork onto an unknown brand cardstock that feels like 120# or heavier white cardstock. Didn't even know I had this stuff... hidden behind some other things. sigh!! There are quite a few that I only have images for since they were 3 dimensional. Covers are the same white cardstock. Punched 3 holes using my large Crop-A-Dile and used a brown 4ply waxed linen thread in an altered Slip Knot binding. Added home made beads from eons ago - I think FIMO, as well as some paper beads.

I finally got around to binding all the artwork I did in 2021 for Scribbled Lives... 17 pages plus covers (8.5"x 11")

Size: 8.5"w x 11" h x 1" thk
I mounted most of the artwork onto 65# off-white/cream toned cardstock, there were quite a few that I only had images for since they were either sold or 3 dimensional. Covers are made from a double layer glued together of the cream cardstock. Punched 3 holes using my large Crop-A-Dile. Used a dark blue and a turquoise 4ply waxed linen thread in an altered Slip Knot binding and then added various hand made paper beads.
