WIPW - An Explosion Book

 Work In Progress Wednesday is not all about fabric today. I made some paper craft.


An Explosion Book

I was reading Annet's blog Fat-Quarter and found this lovely squash book. There you can also see a reference to a great video tutorial, where the book is called an explosion book.

As I had to make a wedding gift I thought I would use photos from my album, add love-related text and cut them to fit the pages of the book.





It was an easy and fun project. Annet, many thanks!


Mandala

I stitched down the circles!

    Hi there Queenie, sorry, I don’t know why but I’m now anonymous on some blogs when I comment but my comments work OK on other blogs! 🤷‍♀️
    Annet’s idea of an explosion book is quite new to me - it’s very clever, and I love your version. I enjoyed seeing your stitching today especially the leaves, they look really beautiful!

    Your squash/explosion book is lovely and will make a fun gift.
    And the Mandala is beautiful with additions. Yes, fall leaves are here too and the air is a little spicy/smoky, fall time.

    I love the book! I’m sure the recipients did too. Maybe I can try it sometime. You’ve made great progress on your two ongoing projects.

    Explosion books are great gifts.
