lostmitten
This is a handmade, handbound book, recycled and reconstructed from a novel called "The 13th is Magic!" . The inside pages have been replaced with blank pages to become a journal. The binding is a coptic stitch made with waxed black thread. http://lostmitten.etsy.com
This is my hommage to the many people out there who know how to make 'something from nothing' Those who are thrifty & can create from someone elses cast offs. Whether the principle be to help the environment or not the result is the same! & the world has become a more decorated place.
Please show me your re-crafted wares?

Do you realize you dissected a book that commonly sells for as much as $350--it's out of print and extremely in demand--to make a JOURNAL???
You should have done some research before ruining this fine children's book. :-9
That is really cute and very clever!
