Making folded books

I was up early and in for a blood test and from then on I have played! I was fascinated by a folded book that Carol McFee had put up on her blog and she kindly sent an email telling me where to find a name for it, The explosion Book. I have tracked down several ways to make it and finally have made two that are more or less what I meant them to be using the tutorials on them. Thank you Carol. While I was about it I had another play with the easy 4 page book we made in Velma Bolyard's class, so I am on my way but boy it has taken a while to get it into my head. I love books making although usually I go for the easy little concertina books but this has kindled my joy in all of this and I may well go back to even binding some. Very cold this morning, a lovely afternoon spent also sewing up small dolls. No beach walk this morning but I walked Max around and looked at foals, foolishly forgetting to take my camera, the last foal the little cream colt is growing well and at the moment is very smutty looking, he almost looks as if he would be a taffy with a dark coat and blonde main and tail. Must get a photo he is gorgeous. click on the photos to enlarge them.
