Marbled Paper Book

The purpose of this assignment was to be able to follow an example of the booklet, which was a step by step process. First, paper was placed in water with colored, oil paints. A popsicle stick was used to make designs with the oil paint. Because it was oil paint it took a day or so to dry and then it was time to assemble the booklets. The inside is made of cardboard and was covered with the painted sheets using a special glue. Next, a stake of papers cut in the size of the rectangle shape was added to the booklet. A hole punching machine was used to make holes in a thick stack of paper. Finally, two screws were placed in the holes to bind the booklet together. The only difficult part of the project was the hole punching; however, I liked the creativity part of the assignment. The booklet is also functional as a notepad.
