| ©2018 Barry Smith - Trio of small metal books |
As a result of the
post on the small metal books I was asked to make a small book with the word "write" in it. Of course one can't just make a single book; so I decided that though the day would be a bit out of shape because of
Celebration of Books Maleny commitments I could get three little books completed if I started yesterday afternoon. The three books were made from a high quality silver-plated placemat.
So a few photos of the progress and outcome of the project follow.

Now off to the Celebration of the Book activities.

ReplyDeleteYour little books are so beautiful! I love the embossed pattern on the outsides and words within.
ReplyDeleteMy mom commissioned the little write book for me and just gave it to me today for my birthday! I absolutely love it, and the smaller one that is a charm! These and your other works are lovely, thank you for doing your art.
ReplyDeleteMC, R&S and T - thanks for checking out the blog and taking the time to leave a comment - really appreciated. MC - the weekend was a great community event. R&S - thank you - the pattern on the outside is the original pattern from the tray I cut the metal from. T- grand that your mum commissioned the small book and I'm pleased that it and the pendant bring you joy. Go well. B
