Long Stitch Book

This is the first long stitch book I made in Kelley Walker's  class at My Heart's Fancy.  If you aren't local and want to learn how to make this book (along with a pamphlet stitched book in a slip case), she also teaches an online version here.  Kelley is a great teacher.

Pamphlet Books in Slipcase

I made these books and slipcase in a class I took from Kelley Walker last year.  She teaches it online too, which you can find here.

I have enjoyed making books ever since I made my first one many years ago, and about a year ago I discovered a great book arts group right here in the town where I live.  It is a great group of artists who are up for just about anything.  I taught this book structure at our last meeting.  Thanks to Kelley Walker for teaching this structure at My Heart's Fancy a few months back.  The covers are some of my gelli plate printed papers and the spine is sticky back canvas painted with acrylic paint.
