Book of Dreams is a handmade book. The cover I made by wet felting different colored wool roving into the pattern you see on the front while leaving the inside a nice solid green color. The interior pages were wet laid paper I made by recycling some miscellaneous scrap white paper with three to five different color orange scrap papers to get the lovely peach colored paper that is in the book. I recycled the pages by making them into a slurry, or paper milkshake with water and then poured it into form to get the shape and size of the paper. The paper is then slowly air dried. You can see specks and pieces of the orange scrap paper that I used in the sheets making every one of the interior pages different. The bookmark is cord that has handmade glass beads at the end and one around the maker on the spine. A silver colored clasp is used to fasten the book closed. This book would make a wonderful present for a special someone or would look lovely on display.

The book was bound using a limp style binding. On the spine the middle two cords of the spine are strung threw five rock beads.

The book is 8 1/2" x 6" x 1 1/2" with 64 pages front and back.
