The end of the Pink series ~ the first is an accordion with pockets, with hard covers. The page strip was printed on both sides and folded to create the pockets. Each pocket has a paper heart in it, also from hand printed paper. 2-5/8 x 2-5/8 inches.
The lightest pink book was constructed first by fusing two prints together -- the backs of both were printed with something else entirely and I didn't want them to show. So I fused the two pieces together, creating a fairly stiff sheet that I then cut into six equal-sized pieces. Each piece was folded and had another hand printed folio inserted, then they were individually pamphlet stitched.
Finally, I added tabs of polka dot paper to the mountain folds to create the accordion. The ribbon closure is unattached to the book. 2-5/8 x 2-5/8 inches.
And lastly, another tiny hard cover book created by folding a piece of printed paper in half lengthwise, then accordion folding. 1-5/8 x 3-1/8 inches.
Hope you enjoyed these Pink books ~ I learned a lot and I loved making them. Now, on to other delights.

I love the polka dots. What is it about them that elicit a happy feeling? Thanks to your books, I am now convinced that pink isn't all that bad. A major feat to overcome my 59 year old dislike for pink! LOL! Have a wonderful day, Connie.
I like pink when it goes to purple, so this is my favorite of the series.
Haven't you been having fun! Great work.
I so appreciate seeing these open and having your descriptions. Bella!
It occurs to me that these are so appropriate: made by a woman named Rose in Rose Cottage!

These are all beautiful! Love the inclusion of the hearts in the pockets!
My dad is not fond of pink, but I know he would marvel at these and love them, like I do.
I've always liked pink and I've been told I look good in it--just like Mom.
Sweet.
