A week ago: sitting at De Kralingse Plas, carving my first stamp.

Couldn't wait to get the right stamprubber, so I use an old gummetje.

And on our balcony: a triple bubble!
in NL: "een drielingbel"

how to make a little Vaderdag Book tutorial

HOW TO MAKE A LITTLE BOOK

1. collect nice paper

I used wallpaper samples (Hubo, Gamma)

2. fold the paper once

stamp/write/paint/draw

3. put the pages together

5. sew it, on the fold, with strong thread.

I used Quiltcotton/polyester.

this little book is for my father

and the children (6 and 3) made it.

title: The Animal Stamp Book

but the real, uncencured title is a little bit different,

too rude to translate :)
