I love the colors of this book, the wacky title & the perfectly textured pages. I wanted to create something special with it. Four-hundred folds later I ended up with this organic "heart" shape...
I'm really pleased with the end result. Usually when I fold these books I have some sort of plan in mind. But this time I decided to let the book take me on a crafty journey. It was one of those projects where I took many twists & turns, becoming exhilarated, unsure, yet hopeful, even frustrated at times through each fold. I intended on heading in a certain direction & was led somewhere else.
I took a household census & my 6 year old saw a "heart" right away. I asked my 4-year old, "What does it look like?" She said, "A book!" Mr. WhiMSy love said it looks like a radish & it does remind me of a fox head. Either way, I enjoyed the adventure.

I love the colors too!
