RANDOM INSIDE PAGE & Coin for relative size


What exactly is it?
The cover is a single piece of hand made paper i made, foldes over. Inside pages are from an aweful book of "modern short stories" (read: 30 pg stories that were modern in the 60's). I tore out the pages, put some upside down, wrong side out for the aged, torn look.. mostly out of order, etc. How on earth i got them to stay in is anyone's guess. Took a needle and some flimsy thread and poked the pages through where i thought support should be, tied a knot.. did some loopiness... in other words.. i bound it with the "that looks loose.. i'll add another knot" method. Then I modge podged it into the cover.

When I get a chance, I'll collage and journal all over the inside pages so that the text is merely a background colour or pattern.
