I was reading Neet's
Artful Times challenge for this week and decided to give it a go because though I have done inchies in the past, I have never made twinchies! So what is a girl to do? She makes a little itty bitty twinchies book!
Techhnically, the cover doesn't count, because they are just over the 2 inch mark... and I decorated the spine with a chippy pocket watch and little glass bottle instead of the front cover because with the hidden hinge binding it gives a broad spine to work with.
but all the pages are 2 inches square... so 12 twinchies in all!
and this is one of my favourite themes and songs: Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce
and yes, the lyrics are all there... in size 5 font! ;)
If I could save time in a bottle
the first thing that I'd like to do
is to save every day
til eternity passes away
just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
if words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
again, I would spend them with you
but there never seems to be enough time
to do the things you want to do
once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
that your the one I want to go
through time with
if I had a box just for wishes
and dreams that had never come true
the box would be empty
except for the memory
of how they were answered by you
but there never seems to be enough time
to do the things you want to do
once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
that your the one I want to go
through time with
The pages are little pockets which hold tags...
cardstock tags with transparencies coloured with alcohol inks
which swivel back to reveal journaling space beneath
the transparencies were embossed with Tim Holtz pocket watches folder before I alcohol inked them.
and just to keep them tidy, I added smaller tags on the backs with patterned papers.
Used lots of time emphemera and stamps and the papers are Fancy Pants It's the little things 6 x 6 pad which were perfect for this teeny size book.
I had a great time playing with this challenge!
