The Tin Book

One of my good friends found this box of colored pencils in her house and thought of me.

I saw the box of colored pencils and thought, "Boy, wouldn't this tin make a great cover for a book"!

I measured out the inside dimensions of the box and torn four signatures

I thought I would do a pamphelet binding stitching the four signatures to a piece of card stock them glue the front and back covers of the book to the inside front and back of the tin. Great idea.

Then I started to look at the joint (hinge) of the box and wondered how exactly that would work. Could I use it as a sketchbook? Hum! I better sleep on this.
