English Counting Book for baby Sousuke


Cover English Counting Book for baby Sousuke
handmade cloth baby book
6" x 10" closed

I hand sewed this cloth book. Baby Sousuke is Yuki's son. Sousuke was born this year, the year of the rabbit. The inside pages are filled with quilting batting, thus giving it a padded feel. The cloth is a soft off white cotton. The stamps were stamped with ink especially made for cloth. I had a really good time making this one and thinking of baby Sousuke learning to count in English.

This book is made of soft off white cotton with a ribbon handle for little hands. Taiga is my Japanese teacher's grandson. The son of Akira. He is about six months old and adorable. He was born last year, the year of the tiger. I can't wait to see his face when he gets this present.

Conor's Birthday English Counting Book


The "I Can See" Counting Book
This is a KOLO photo album that I used to make a counting book for Conor.





Inside cover of book, I used store bought number stamps for this page and the cover. The rest of the numbers in the book have number stamps that I carved. The number stamps are rather small, and thus a real challenge to carve.




Maeby is Conor's dog friend
This stamp is actually my dog friend named Ellie who has posed for many cameos.
Since Ellie has iconic dogness, she posed for Maeby's portrait.
