We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...(pics galore)

« on: September 05, 2005 05:29:12 AM »

Well, actually we went already and it was fab...and armed with a sheet of paper this is what I created!

I'm in practice for my Little Visitor Swap so comments appreciated!

It's a sheet of A4 paper folded to make a book, pretty simple but I can post a tute if anyone wants? Makes a handy book to keep in your pocket and can be made from just about any paper of any size!

The front

1st double page - elephants

2nd double page - birdies

3rd double page - giraffes & a page of me feeling sorry for the caged ones Sad

Back - the bat cave (my favourite place)

The whole darn thing in miniture

Wow, that is beautiful!

I'd love to hear more about how it was made.

It's really gorgeous!

Phew, thanks guys!!

I've posted a tute of how to make the book separetely otherwise there'd be way too many pics here! (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=51923.0)

So when you've folded the book...or if you just want to try this idea out anywhere...I've tried to cobble together some kind of help as to how I did the rest - though these are my first tutes so I hope they're okay?!

Here goes...

oops should say black INK pen

Phew! Makes me wish I'd taken pics of the original while I was making it!

Hop this is okay...it's my first proper tute...

that sort of little folded book is one of my absolute favorites! i used to make them with my students when i was teaching...they go together so easily and really feel like a book and not just folded paper.
and your art is great, too, of course!
