Egg Carton Book

Kelly bought me this amazing book, where books are made from recycled materials. And we both decided that this was the one to make while visiting the greatest city across the land. And I didn't even have to leave her house. It took me a whole day and I had Hannah to watch movies with, so not a bad way to spend a vacation. I just split the carton in half, cut off the top and made the signatures from grocery paper bags. I had to cut the bags down to size, and I think that took the longest time in the whole process. The famous multicoptic stitch, carefully, to sew it up, and on the front end, i kind of sewed on the part that latches the carton shut- with some of the wax linen string to keep it shut. So it looks organic but the latch is totally fabricated. And there you have it- a book without a practical purpose- unless you happen to know a charming young lady named Stacy whose new project is to document her huevos rancheros experiences at restaurants across the Southeast. Report back lady- with photos and notes- and a festive book to put them in. Just try to beat out SunnyPoint, just try...
