Mingei!

Come and join me and two other artist and make some unique handmade gifts. I promise you will get messy and have fun...at least my project!! We will construct, paint, stamp and stencil holiday designs. This is a book that can be adopted for other special occasions. And if you're like me, collecting tickets and ephemera from vacations and such, what a great book to make to hold these reminders from our holiday!!





This is an Envelope Book. The envelopes are attached to an accordion spine. You can use bookboard or cardstock for the covers.
