Book number 40, In, out, windows

Current bid for this book stands at £18

Yet another book featuring one of my favourite quotes from Thich Nhat Hanh, in, out, deep, slow, calm, ease, smile, release, present moment, wonderful moment.
This time each page has a central window cut out with one word in each window.
The book measures 11.5 x 13.5cm with the front and back covers decorated in decoupage.

Here is the front cover.

This shows the first of the inside pages.

Book number 39, Coptic marbling

Current bid for this book stands at £10 

This book is from an idea I saw on pinterest and have been wanting to do for a while. It has several signatures (sections of book pages) sewn together across the spine but the edge of each signature is decorated with a piece of marbled paper, so the decoration continues from the front cover, across the spine and onto the back.

It measures 10.5 x 15cm and has 124 pages.

This is the front cover of the book with the stitching clearly visible.

This is the spine with the marbling decorating the edge of each signature.

This book is another small printed version of number 34, (in, out, deep, slow, calm, ease, smile, release, present moment, wonderful moment)

but this time it is vertical rather than horizontal.
