So I shared progress on the mini flag book, which I am mostly pretty happy with. But in the end I was kinda annoyed by the fact I had two serious lapses in judgement.
First, I neglected to do any decoration on the backs of all of those little flags. Would have been super easy to do before I put the whole thing together.
The second but related lapse was that even when I looked at them and thought hummm… I carried on and added the covers. I mean, clearly the universe was trying to warn me and I totally ignored it. So then I had to think of WTF I was going to do. I did try just using a dauber to add colour but it looked… not right
Tiny gel plate to the rescue!
I was MUCH happier with the effect there, and it was just by using one of the minis that I could sneak the plate in to the opening between the layers of flags. Phew. I slapped a tiny bit of nano tape onto a water bottle lid and added a tiny star. Also small enough to sneak between the layers of flags to stamp a coordinating image.
Very happy. It is not meant to add a lot, just make the backs of the flags a lot less…bare looking. Which it does.
So still left with a decision o the cover. I have an idea or two that should work. Let me play. Hum. Play or tidy… what will it be…

love that you fixed the backs of the flags. they look much better for a splash of colour – hindsight, eh!! a wonderful thing! Play. play… never tidy!
