Half hours at the Seaside continued ...

At last, after much sticking and glueing and cutting, my Seaside book slipcase is complete.  It took sooooo long to do, and was a headache at some points.  Here's the finished thing -

It's covered on the outside with book cloth and the coloured inserts are my hand-marbled paper.  This pattern just seemed right out of all the choices I had left.  The Seaside book looks pretty good placed inside its new cover, and I now need to work on the book some more.  So far, I have added a little collaging -

and a bit more ...

I'll be continuining with the collages, although need to spend time now on getting the watercolours I showed in a previous bog entry ready for the book.  No decision yet on how I'll include them - much problem solving to come ....

With Christmas on the cards, (and in the cards I have been getting!) it may be a while before I complete this piece but the odd mince pie and other seasonal food and drink might help it all along.
