I got up this morning not so bright but early and set to tackling the assemblage of the cluster book. No matter what, no matter how wonky I would just have to go with "good enough".
You'll be pleased to know I did manage to finish the book. Hoorah! šŖ
I was hoping to make a flip through video of the finished gift but I couldn't find the phone holder I used the last time I made one.
Having learnt my lesson yesterday, of the need to walk away when things become a struggle, I set a timer for one hour. If I hadn't sorted out how to make the video within that time I was going to let it go. Which is what happened.
I've taken photos of the book from the front to the back and will create a post of those soon.
Having abandoned the video idea I moved on to finishing the birthday card and matching envelope. For these, I used a handmade gelli print from my stash and incorporated the gold tissue paper from the upcycled chocolate box I used in some of the clusters. Plus some red wire and fabric from an old Indian cushion I'd dismantled.
I would have liked to have made some wrapping paper to match but running out of time and energy I just used the ex-lifedrawing paper that I had completely covered with paint on Day 26.
I made a tag from it too and added a bit to the envelope to help it blend.
And here's the final gift ready to take to the party.
