Book making

I decided to try my hand at making books in quantity for my study bookcase. I did some research and found a blog post about how to enhance the realism of the books. I used this idea - color in a band around the inside edge of the paper cover.

Update: I located a video on this topic done by this blogger that I had watched also - if you are interested in this she does a great job.

All in all I think they came out well. One thing I learned is I need to keep a variety of markers on hand, different colors and tip thicknesses. And a glue stick came in very handy as well.

I need to grab my bookcase and start arranging them!
