I like the kids television series Tinga Tinga tales. So, I thought of using few characters from the series for the book cover. I chose the Elephant for the front cover and the Tortoise for the back cover.
I covered the brown cardboard with white sheets. Then, I chose few of my li'l one's favorite rhymes, wrote them and drew the pictures too. The page edges were wrapped using aluminum foil.
First try on creating a CAS layout using corrugated cardboard. I used a cardboard from a package. I just removed the first layer of cardboard here and there. Now the corrugated layer has been exposed.
Then, I painted the cardboard with white paint.
I cutout few heart shapes from a burlap bag and colored them with markers.
Then, I made a flower with some fabric scraps and decorated them with pine cone scales. I added a tamarind seed for the flower center.
