Known as the Bookboard style, with a slip knot binding, there are 12 pages, made out of a sturdy cardboard.
Since each side is covered with a decorative page, there are really are 24 images to view. Finding all the decorative paper was a challenge. I ended up buying a notebook of these designs, which I decided to mix and match, using with a crystal theme. Purples, and greens and pinks! The edges are sprayed with a gold paint, and the binding a consecutive slip knot made from green embroidery thread.
What makes this one so intriguing, is that the inside is filled with origami foldouts on many of the pages. While this appears facile, making the exact folds is really tricky. I used the thin, shiny origami paper, which takes the folds so well. The instructor has a notebook full of these patterns she shared with us.
This is a new learning process for me , and will take some practice. I did manage to put different designs throughout the pages. Not quite complete, I am still thinking of what surprises to add for the finishing touches.
