You will find book projects covering each letter of the alphabet. Many of the letters have more than one project; over fifty projects in all. You will learn many techniques with step-by-step instructions, plus full size patterns. The techniques in this book will inspire a quilter, doll maker, scrapbooker and bead enthusiast. Even if you are a beginner, you will find many projects easy to do.
The first project is an Acetate Overlay with the letter A where Beth Hooper shares how to create multiple layers with paper to give a book a three-dimensional look. Another project, by Elinor Peace Bailey, with the letter A is an art doll where you will find body parts to trace and make an adorable book that has moving parts. Margert Ann Kruljac will show a gorgeous little fantasy book that can be created with pretend ancestors using simple embellishments for the letter E. Each of the thirty-six contributing artists will share creative projects with Board Book Play.
