Moths - Nature Guide Notebook

Description

Don't moths look like they would make the nicest little pets? They looks so soft and cuddly. I know reality is different, but let's just pretend. This notebook is covered with lovely furry moths with whimsical names like the banded woolly bear. How can you resist? The images come from a Field Guide To Insects of North America and Mexico, published in 1970.
To make this notebook I cut two pieces of matboard to measure 4.25" by 5.5" Then I pasted over the matboard with the pages from the Nature Guide to create the covers. Between the covers I sandwiched 80 sheets of repurposed papers of several varieties, then perfect bound everything together. To finish, I covered the spine with a pretty pink cloth tape. The result is a sturdy book, built to last, that is the perfect size for taking on the go. And the materials are saved from a certain future in the garbage can, which is a feel good story if I ever heard one.
