Bookmaking: The Little Book of Wonder

Little book of wonders accordion shape

I almost finished filling up my Little Book of Wonder, a class by Amy Maricle of Mindful Art Studio. Yesterday I added the covers to my handmade little accordion book full of surprises. I just need to finish a few pages on the back, but that will come in time.

I loved working on this project: I enjoyed working on the pages with lifts, transparencies, flaps and doors. Maybe I’ll add a pocket or an envelope, I’ll see. I especially loved working in layers, finding the right combinations that fit together. The lifts give the pages more depth.

I’ve joined Amy’s free online Slow Art Party for years now and have stacks of small drawings and paintings. It feels so good that I can create with these itty bitty pieces and make them into joyful pages in my handmade accordion art journal.
Below you’ll find a flip-though.
