Happy New Year! May it bring love and warmth and happiness to your homes and lives.
I will start this year by showing you my first completed quiet book. I was chosen to play Secret Santa for a little boy named Lazar, who had barely turned one. I was tossing several ideas before settling on the automotive theme.
The first task was the cover, I needed some vehicular themed pages and could not find any. Here is what I thought of.
Front: Lazar's name in a font loosely based on font of the Car's movies (Magneto bold if you are wondering).
Every letter resembles a road - it is gray with yellow thread running stitch lane markings and small car wood beads.
The back cover I am really proud of.
A rear-view mirror of felt and reflective foil.
And the side is a simple yellow felt strip.
Pages are stitched together with sturdy embroidery thread and elastic and button are used for closing.
