52 books

Over the past year I have made 52 handmade books - more or less one each week. It started out as a way to motivate myself to do something creative on a regular basis and at the same time use up some of arty bits that I've been hoarding for way too long. I have started "annual" projects in the past, but like most resolutions they all got derailed after a few months. I'm really pleased that I stuck with this one for the whole year.

I didn't have many "rules" for this project - just to make a book each week and to fill them with art or writing or something. Although I didn't set any limitations on the size, shape or materials, in the end all the books are rectangles and made mainly of paper. I didn't even try out any fancy binding techniques. The largest one is about 12" by 6" and the smallest one is less than 1 cm square (it's really teeny).

Maybe over the next year, I'll post pictures of each of the individual books and their contents.

Oh, and yes, I do have another annual project planned for 2016. I've still got lots of art supplies to use up.
