Folding, Cutting, & Stitching My Way to a One-of-a-Kind Book
I recently purchased a book by Esther K. Smith called How to Make Books. I started reading it last night and made my first "instant book" this morning. All I needed was a pair of scissors and a sheet of printer paper. Once I had my book folded and cut appropriately, I wrote and drew stuff in it. Although I'm going to mail the original away, I thought it would be fun to scan it first and post it here for all my neighbors to see. If you're really bored, you can even print it out, fold it, make the cut, and read it in the proper order. Otherwise, you'll have to stand upside down at your desk and you might get confused by the intricate plot.

I don't think I gave your name enough hyphens, but I think you'll still know that's you.
You are making great strides! :D
