Melvin

Meet Melvin.

I was inspired reading the magazine, Craftseller, and decided to make myself a monster.

I'm not sure why I called him Melvin. It just kind of fit him. He likes to watch Scrapheap challenge on More 4 on Sunday mornings and he adores grapes.

Melvin also likes to read and enjoys looking after his houseplants.

Scrap Paper Journal

Today I made a scrap paper journal. The pages consist of old envelopes, odd and unused sketchbook pages, squared paper, plain paper, coloured paper... the list goes on!

The stitched used is a Japanese book binding stitch, very simple and no folding of paper is required.
