Book artist, mail artist, and educator Bel Mills takes great care when making even the smallest object. In this class she demonstrates just how much can be packed into a tiny book that features even tinier paper ephemera. As an avid upcycler, Bel loves to create art books using ordinary and cast-off paper products such as security envelopes and canceled stamps. This delicious visual snack, just a hair larger than a postage stamp, begins by folding an accordion book and then attaching a miniature cover. Along the way, make thoughtful design choices that lead the viewer on an adventure because every book is a journey, no matter how small.

Well, since I am new to crafting, the time spent on cards stock was a bit confusing for me. I understood the concept of determining flexibility, but became befuddled about how to lay it on the cutting mat, then how to cut it. I tried to watch Belle's actual movements, but I could not get my brain around it. The first few times I made the book cover, it became mangled. I finally placed the paper the correct way bc it was much easier to fold.
I love these little books and will practice until I get it right!
