Tell me - how did you do the books?

I hunted online for pictures of books I own, copied and resized them, and then
printed them on card stock. I tacked them down with a few stitches rather than
gluing. Not because I don't like glue but because I thought if they weren't
totatly flat, it would look like they were stacked on top of each other and add
another dimension. I had toyed with the idea of printing them on fabric or
making several copies on paper and layering them with glue dots like
professional sticker makers do but the KISS principle won out ;-)

You're just so wonderfully creative. I do nice work, but I don't have your
imagination and I wish I did.

And the books! You are something else!

There's many different kinds of creativity. When I absolutely must come up with
a design from scratch, I have a really hard time even if the design or motif is
abstract rather than representational. I need a jumping off point. Adapting or
embellishing the heck out of someone else's original work is my forte.

Quite a few thing at http://www.fantasyfabricblocks.com/ are calling to me.
