This gift was made out of pure love for my dear friend Katie who is moving to Aus to be with her very special boyfriend. I was originally going to make a regular book and started initially making the pages out of black and white papers. Then I realised what a rainbow of colour Miss Peters is and changed the pages to be as bright and colourful as possible. I also thought that it would be such a shame to have the pages hidden away inside the front and back cover, so made it open like a concertina. On one side is pictures of her and words to describe her wonder, and on the other side pictures of her with her friends and heartfelt messages from them. It was such a joy to make, and also so easy because I had a specific person in mind and I knew just how much it would mean to her. It was a great example of how projects grow and evolve and change during the making process and how, as the maker, you should allow this change to happen and not be stuck or rigid in a design plan.
