Carte-de-visite and some books

Yes, it has been a whole year since I last posted...however here are some Carte-de-visite's and books I made recently and a rounded edge tray.   The tray will need more work or at least a very fine doily on it.

Books & cut-outs

The big work going on is so big that I needed a break, had to work on something small and simple.    So I have been cutting out sheets of things some of which you can see in & on a lap desk in these pictures.

I also made some mini books just last night and am very pleased with how they turned out.  I used my cut-outs and a narrow piece of illustration board.
My favorite is the "double-decker" novel (two together) which were popular in the 1800's.  There were even triple-decker novels and I will be making a few of those...later.
