I took up the challenge from Keirunga Book Arts to make a book using the topic 'Circle.’
I had some old water balloons and decided to paper maché one into a sphere. After several attempts of noting which colours had perished I chose the blue one. Japanese tissue is ideal as it dries very hard with a few layers.
When dry pop the balloon and remove. Cover the small hole left. Fold the silver paper and cut with a circle cutter or scissors. Add your quote.
The quote I added around the circumference on a silver strip read,
”The next best thing to being wise is to live in a circle of those who are.” C. S. Lewis
The mini, mini circle book reads, ‘A group of people with a shared interest.'
