i redid the life portrait carousel album from a workshop i gave last month. when the mock up was done, i figured to perfected the binding and thought i would also make one for myself.
second picture is the revamped binding with internal spine to reinforce support
originally i was going to put my younger days pictures. then, my mother's best friend of more than 50 years is asking me to help her collect old family pictures. she's making a video memoir for my mother's birthday present in november. as i was looking at those vintage pictures, i immediately decided to use some of them for this carousel album instead.
i use mostly webster's pages' life's portrait papers and use punches and shape scissors to build the album and embellishments. on the revamped version, i made some minor changes on the inside...just because.

the weather hasn't been kind and i couldn't get the right natural light for the pictures. so i took the detail page shots with no justice still.
owkay...insisted by my uncle, she wi-fied the house. she's internet illiterate still. i'm off to show her this on her ipad. good lord!
