Terry Ann  reproduced some Japanese stamps that can be used on the covers.

The closures will be elastic bands, thread or yarn.

Terry Ann found a custom stamp designer in Victoria who made a “my haiku book” stamp.

Take your haiku notebook with you on the haiku walk or decorate it on the spot with haiku and collage to make a “one of a kind” art book.

 

Papers are provided. The workshop is free, but you must buy a Sakura Days Japan Fair ticket to enter the site.

Sakura Days April 7 2013 Haiku at the GlassHouse
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.
