Turn a photo frame into a mini book

This book features my cat Molly who is just so dammed cute!

It is a photo frame which has had holes drilled on one side and had large wooden tags added to it to make it into a mini book. It stands on a book case in our living room.

It was also featured in Get Creative magazine in Australia and the article includes full instructions for making one for yourself.

Book about Me

This book is titled Unashamedly All About Me and it’s one of my interactive book designs. You can write on it with chalk, stick things to the notice board and hang things from pegs. I love designing these books and this is one of  my favourites of all time.

It appeared in Get Creative magazine in Australia together with full step by step instructions for making it.

Eddy – Heritage mini book

My Great Uncle Eddy was killed in WW1 in France. I made this mini book to celebrate his life.It is made from corrugated cardboard – my all time favourite medium as it is inexpensive, fun to work with and recycling is always a good thing to do.

The book was featured in Get Creative magazine in Australia and here are detailed instructions for making it.

Purse Mini-book

 

This mini-book was made for Get Creative magazine in Australia. I don’t typically work with what I call “bubble gum” colours like these pinks, greens and blues but for this project because of the clothes the kids are wearing it worked so well.

The photos were taken one day when the kids were playing in the park so I went along to photograph them. Ali was showing off her prowess in swinging across the monkey bars, Ginger was having a little trouble – arms too short was the problem – and Katyann was still playing on the slides and things – waiting for the day she could even reach the monkey bars!

The book is chock full of modeling paste so its lumpy and there is fabric and layer upon layer of chipboard too.

This is one of the inside pages – featuring Katyann. You can see more of the book and read how to make it yourself  here: Purse Mini-Book.
