A friend's mother has a book that I made a few years ago, which I never took good enough photos of to post (which is a shame, it was pretty!). She's been using it as a scrap book, which it wasn't designed for, and now it's half full and barely closes.
So, I was asked if I'd make a similar book to replace it. To be on the safe side, I guarded half the pages so that it has more space for sticking things in. Because it has an exposed spine, it opens nice and flat, so it's easier to write in, too.
It's sewn on satin ribbon with embroidery thread. I also sewed a green ribbon trim along the kettles, because they looked a little undecorative (note to self: that thread is really too thin for anything other than a tiny book). Rather than make endpapers, I just pasted down the first and last page of the texblock.
