Kat Howard’s miniature book ‘Trust/Taunt’ is 2.75 x 2.25 inches. I love the outside sewing. She says “This miniature artist’s book features original poetry that contemplates the line between what’s public and what’s private, and what happens when you make a decision that you can’t take back.” See the book here and she has a Facebook page here.
I have a running list of “National X Day” that someday I’ll turn into a calendar. This week I found two: “National S’mores Day” (August 10, see a history of S’mores here) and “Book Lovers Day” (Aug 9). I found about the later from Amy Watkins’ blog, where she featured my flip book.
Another creative play idea: when done with your afternoon (or morning, or whatever) tea, write or draw on the bag. Heidi Zednik‘s A tea bag a day with a poem on it. The second picture is a month of tea bags, bundled.
This spring when I started making & selling customized planners & notebooks, I thought I’d do a niche market and designed covers that were craft or hobby specific — sewing, gardening, quilting, math teacher… Someone asked me about a more universal cover, so I did this one with chevrons. It quickly became my best seller! Maybe because you can select the background color? Who knows, and maybe so much for my niche market idea! It’s available here.
