Description I love this book!

I have a lot of scrap paper laying around my room so I decided to make a tiny little book and experiment with a round binding. I've never done a book like this before but I like how it came out so I'll probably be doing a lot more like this.

I had originally planned on selling this little guy but I just don't think I can part with him.



*EDIT*

Man, I'm not used to getting this much attention from one deviation. Thank you to everyone who adds this to their favorites or has featured it in their journals. It really means a lot to me

THANKS!!!

I don't have it with me and I haven't measured it... Its only about an inch wide and maybe two inches tall. Maybe a little smaller..

I have made a few more smaller books that I'm hoping to sell on Etsy.com as soon I stop being a lazy bum

Ohhh. I love this! For me this doesn't get much better. I have a huge obsession with all things tiny, my favorite color is blue, I loooove butterflies, oh and bookbinding I have recently become enamored with. If you don't mind my asking, where did you learn to do the rounded back and do you have or know of a tutorial for it ? I tried coptic binding with the back open and rugular style with a spine. If you ever decide to sell it I would gladly take it off your hands!!

hahaha I totally knew you loved all those things, that is precisely why I made this book. Yep. Just for you to love.

I usually do a regular spine back on my books but I had been wanting to try a rounded back for some time now. This was my first attempt and I definitely love how it came out. I'm planning on selling some other tiny books but I don't think I can sell this one, I like it too much.

As for tutorials. I haven't been able to find a good one for round edges... But I was thinking about putting one on my website. (which isn't finished yet...)
