I completed the cover. I will do inner pages next month.
My partner's favorite color is green and she likes foreign print, she does not want her book to be girly or frilly.
I like green too, and I can get "foreign" print easily (as I am in Japan).
But this swap is a bit challenging for me - I have a daughter and I scrapbook for her so it's my first time to make something not girly.
And, this is my "not-so-girly" cover.
altered board bookなるものを作る交換会に参加しておりまして、今日つくりはじめました。
私のパートナーは緑が好きで、あと外国の紙モノが好きで、ガーリーな感じは嫌だと言うのですが、これが結構難しい。
緑は私も好きだし、外国の紙モノなんて彼女にとっての外国である日本にいる以上簡単に入手できますが、娘がいるのでどうしても何をつくるにもガーリーなんですよ私…
ってなわけで、ガーリーでないもの初挑戦ですが、どうでしょう。
ooooooooooooo very cool. love the tearing.....
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great interpretation of "not girly or frilly." It still has a lot of texture and interest. Your partner will be thrilled with this book.
