She's Crafty: Flip book
Nov. 22nd, 2024 02:28 pmI made something called a flipbook for my sister for Xmas. It's kind of a two-sided picture album using photos of her own orchids. It hinges on both sides and the pages fold left-right-left-right. Here is the cover:

And the sides flip out like this:

And this is the base. I included a poem about orchids and some artwork and some book pages from a Nero Wolfe novel about orchids (which she gave me).

Honestly, I don't know if she'll appreciate it. I think she will. She has a kind of practical, literal side to her but she doesn't NEED anything. She buys what she wants when she wants it. But she's volunteered to be vice president of her orchid society (and no one wants to be president) so maybe it's something she can show off. I included some orchid stickers for her to give to her orchid pals.
