Quality Nickel Games


Here's another example of the spiral bound books I have been playing with. I have a good time finding the images and putting them together.


This one has a game spinner on the front and guess what? I added a real metal spinner that moves, so you can twirl it around just like when you're playing a board game.


On the back cover I put a picture of a dice. It's very playful and fun.


It has 17 pages mixed of my recycled handmade papers, cold pressed watercolor paper and stiff cardboard with old maps and newspaper print on them.


I like the way it lays flat when you open it. Some of the watercolor pages are half-sized, so you can see the pages on either side. When I was traveling I liked using half-sheets sometimes, so you could see part of the next page while you were drawing. Kind of a pop-up book idea.

I hope you like these little spiral-bound handmade books. I'm putting them in the ExpeditionD Etsy shop, if you want to see more photos.


Or to grab one that's caught your fancy!

Very cool books! You must have one of those binder machines. Any suggestions on a good one?
I'm enjoying your style thoroughly.
