chapbooks are fun and easy.

Look! a book about herbs! I made it. It has pictures and explanations and! it even has a little loop of thread attached to its spine in order to provide transportation and overall convenience.




The digital photograph above and to your right is a picture of the little herb book hanging in a kitchen on a nail. Wanna know why its hanging there? Well I put it there. I had fifteen of these little herb books and I had decided prior to hanging on a nail in a kitchen the best way to let people know about herbs was to hang it in their kitchens on hooks or nails in a secret. This one in the digital photograph is in a girl named Emily's kitchen. It's near a calender. I really only hung it in three different peoples kitchens and I don't know their names because I only went to three houses besides my own the day i decided to distribute. I gave the rest to people I think were or are cool.

Making a chap book was pretty fun and easy. Maybe you should try it. here is a link to a template kind of:

Just remember when you make your books that you should be wary of cutting. If it isn't exactly on the fold, your book will look busted. oh. and also remember to fold before you cut! i didn't. some of mine looked busted. and! it's really helpful to have a bone folder or something like a rock maybe or a lighter near by to define your creases.

okay. thanks.
