For the 2009 Triathlon Prizes:
You may make either a girdle book (see links below) or a standard book cover. You may choose any size book you would like the cover to fit. You may use any technique or materials you would like. You may embellish the cover with anything you would like such as beads, pearls, or lace. It is your project, so have fun with it!! Just keep in mind your period aesthetics and no googly eyes or 70's polyester stretch fabric please. *GRIN*
You may enter your book-cover in the competition. Please keep in mind that documentation is required and will be 1/5 of your score.
If interested in making a bookcover or if you have any questions my e-mail address is: cellach@comcast.net.
