Scary, Creepy, Spooky Halloween Books

I saw these clever halloween books over at the Best Books blog and it got me excited to make my own halloween book. I especially love the coffin book, go vote for the best halloween book here. And if you really have to have this coffin book go here.

I love the Monster Book of Monsters from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I am planning on making a monster book ASAP for my halloween photos (with pictures of lots of "monsterous things" inside)

I love these skull books. The first one is from here

The cut out book is from the skull a day project you may have seen I think on the Martha Stewart show. See it here

This skull opens! Maybe a book could be made from cutting a resin skull, or lining the cover with teeth similar to the monster book. The Second book here is The Book of the Dead from the movie The Evil Dead, which I haven't seen, but love the creepy books they've made.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN BOOK LOVERS!

Book Bindings

I am inspired by these gorgeously bound books. The first two are from AnnReneeLighter and the third and fourth pictures are from an amazing book artisit Deniss Yuen. I learned the coptic stitch the other day, although it is very sloppy, and have been working on some planners (boringly yet practically spiral bound) that I can't wait to show the world. I will post them soon, but until then, If you love book arts check out Deniss's lovely blog
