3D Book - Part 1

This is No.1 of 5 in a series of details for the collage keepsake book.

While I am uploading these available for the Artisan Craft Club: [link] , in case they find the offering suitable, I hope others will enjoy them too

Description:
By folding the covers of the book back until they meet and tying them together, the book can stand on its own, and the pages become 3-dimensional, the pages contain layers of art papers on card stock, cutout spaces, ribbons, laces and other fabrics with a keepsake photograph in each, printed on plain paper so that it can be bent without damage. One of the pages includes a pocket which holds a message card which can be pulled out by means of a ribbon 'bookmark'. All words have been obscured by me for privacy, and are not a critical part of the sculpture. Rather, the book-sculpture is intended to be a container for a message.

Additional materials used in making this item were colored pens for the page edges, glue, velvet, double-stick tape, and miscellaneous items from the sewing basket.
