A of F - One Page Booklet - Crazy Is

Our AofF for May is anything using 1 piece of paper. This is the 3rd booklet I've made. I guess I'm kind of addicted...
size closed: 2"sq x .5"thk
I used my Guild's Genoa Bond paper which I completely covered with various colored linear marks and filling in the negative areas with solid color.
Folded to create 16 sections. Cut the paper thru 3 squares in the 1st & 3rd section and then from the opposite side thru the 2nd section.
Glued a very thin line wherever needed to create a page/pocket and then cut out little rectangles to easily slip in and out my white page inserts.
The only text is what's visible.
words: title - "Crazy is as crazy does" on the edge of the cover.
letters spell out MIND BOGGLING

Art Of The Fold - One Page Booklet - Think Green

size closed: 2.75"w x 2.25"h x .5"thk
Our AofF for May is anything using 1 piece of paper. I've done a few of these but this time I decided to glue some of the pages and create pockets so the booklet opens like a normal book... I love the results and decided I wanted an all GREEN theme...

I used my Guild's Genoa Bond paper, folded to create 16 sections. Cut the paper thru 1st & 3rd lines from the left edge thru 3 sections, then from the right edge thru the 2nd line thru 3 sections, and folded starting at one end till the end.

Glued a very thin line wherever needed to create a page/pocket and then punching a semi circle either at the edge or top depending on how the page was glued. I reinforced the glued edges with a very thin piece of geli print scraps.

Used various gel pens and Clean Color pens for the colored text.

Created tags to fit the pockets with the Genoa Bond paper and then adhered a piece of a dark green heavy paper. Wrote in green color names using a Gelly Roll white gel pen.

Single Paper Booklet - Sounds Of Silence

Size closed: 3"w x 4.5"h x 1/2"thk
I couldn't get this song out of my head... so decided to make a booklet of it.
I looked in my stash and found a gelli print I really liked. Love the cut off piece I used for the cover.
Used an 9" x 12" piece of med weight cardstock. Cut and folded and then inserted black photographic backdrop paper and the gelli print paper in each of the folds. Bound with black 4ply waxed line thread.
Wrote out the text with a black Juice Up pen for the lyrics (Sounds Of Silence by Paul Simon) and a black gel pen for the title words.
