This beautiful blossom book was sent to us by Terry Ann Carter who ran the handmade books workshop during Sakura Days.
Each page is a blossom decorated with a colorful Urban Tea Merchant postcard.
Each postcard features a haiku by one of the VCBF Haiku Invitational 2012 winners.
To complete the binding: make two hole punches and insert an elastic grasping the small twig on the other side to hold the book together.
This book is a great memento since these were the same blossoms that decorated the glasshouse during Sakura Days. At the end of the event, Terry Ann asked if she could have some blossoms to make a handmade book. How lovely to see the result. Thanks Terry Ann for this beautiful keepsake.
