Library Books Arive Daily presented by BB

As a young youth of the mid 1950's coal fired smokey days, i began to look intently at Annuals and comic books mainly because some turned up while my older brother Ron,and i along with others gleaned the city streets collecting waste paper. i being only six and my big brother 11 years young. Many years have past me by since those rather illfitting cold black and white damp days, while going forward as i had to in life , i found myself in many an active adventure hazard to my health.

So here i am at 73 years of age helping others in the world of arts and crafts, and it keeps me rather busy in many ways rather than just one.

Enjoy the Picture Books of bygone Days

From one picture i patch the book together then copy and shrink them all down to a very small size upon plates for printing out.

Bye 4 now, stay safe, stay well.

More Open Book Covers for Folding Over into Little Dainty Books. presented by BB

To Point My Way To Others Of Any Age Group

To Aid The Arts & Crafts

Little Books for what is often termed for Dolls Houses.

However of what i've seen printed out for all those dainty things

the books are far to large to fit into any dolls house that i have seen.

Here i first collect pictures copy my own style of book covers and then shrink them down to a size that would enter the world of scratch building by fitting into,or onto book cases or indeed book shelving units befitting any such small sized childrens play things such as all those splendid regimental dolls houses. Of course all those adults who are into collecting things perhaps from their own childhood time line,perhaps this informative way is right up their ally of constant artist display too.

Snip and Sketch process for old books

Down size to ones own requirement and print out.

And it is as simple as that.

The Alice Books are very collective the world over and i have shown many elsewhere on this Blog.

So please take a wander around, if you have the interest to do so?

A double option applied to these ones.

A picture i turned into a book for my shelving upon scratch built units. The spine of this untitled piece was coppied from the picture then reversed and set into place between the two pictures which more than suits my needs.

All covers fold over paper card,so have no pages. My 28 Scale is by far,far to small for that option. Although large sized ones could have a wad of paper pages squeezed into place between each book cover if that is the style needed. Most certainly the scratch builder has many learning curve options to take ,unlike no choice items bought upon the Internet or the high street.

The greatest thing is fishing for old stylish books to copy. That is also great fun.

That's it for this one,c u on the next one. BB
