Book folding... DESTEMPELWINKEL, QUOTE THE RAVEN and SMUDGY ANTICS

Well I have been busy....
have wanted to try book folding for ages now and finally got the idea sorted in my head....
it takes ages for things to sink in...
there is loads of help online.... just google 'book folding'...
I found using lined paper with extra lines drawn in the way to go for me....
then just make up whatever words you want to fold.
Sorry...lots of pictures coming up....
This one depicts one of my favourite poems by 
E.A.POE   'Alone'
our challenge at QUOTE THE RAVEN  this month is to create something based on
one of POE's poems.
 I have used a DE-STEMPELWINKEL stamp ''FEMKE'' at the bottom,
decoupaged 6 times... the ''demon in my view'' is a decoupaged photo of one of the gargoyles above my craftroom door.
 I used a paperback book to fold so had to make hard covers for it...
on the front I have added the poem.
 ...here you can see the little girl and 'demon'.
This is my folded book for SMUDGY ANTICS....
Thiss month our them is POE...yay!!
 Again i used a paperback book so had to make hard covers.
 I made little black roses from the same embossed paper i used to cover the hard covers.

I hope you'll join us at all of the challenges these books are inspiration for....
