as promised, here is a peek at the drawers in the “tallest handmade book in the world {project}” book. i have much more paint to add, things to bind, a cover to finish, etc., but it’s moving right along — i should share more completed photos but this is an in progress shot. i will keep posting updates and peeks as the project progresses so everyone will know when i am ready to start the auction and participants can start spreading the word.
just to give you a frame of reference, this is the back cover/bottom of the book. i have to decide if i should hide some secret items in the drawers. probably just a thing or three. but for now, back to painting cover bits — the back cover needs to have more continuity (promise i’m not leaving it like this). my time was too busy trying to figure out how the heck to get drawers in and be able to “easily” bind it all while having a big ribbon closure as well. (i’m a freak — i just envisioned feet on the bottom of the book!)… now my brain-gears-are-a-turnin’. i could do it. but…?
can’t wait to show you all more. this has been such an awesome collaboration! i wish i could clone myself into three people though ’cause it’s taking wayWAY longer than anticipated. sorry folks.

What a cool idea! I can’t wait to see more of it. I think you should definitely put little tidbits in the drawers. Maybe you could make a tiny book to put in one.
