Little Fat Book
A friend and I made this book last summer. We each made 10 pairs of pages... 5 with an agreed upon theme and 5 free choice. We were learning about the process and this was a fun way to play and practice techniques, construction and embellishments.

Button, Button Who's Got The Button?

Fat Books
Fat Books are called 'fat' because there are so many embellishments the book can't be closed. The standard page size is 4" x 4"... but there are 6" x 6" books and skinny fatbooks. Here is a photo of a skinny fat book page by Shauna Palmer. Follow the link to see photos of the entire book.
What is a Fat Book?
Not sure what a fat book is? Read more:
"Fat books are an increasingly popular mixed-media form. These little books, also known as chunky books, are four inches by four inches in size. Despite the tiny size of the pages, the assembled book is extremely bulky because the artists making the pages tend to embellish them with plenty of fibers, trims, charms and ephemera. The bound books often cannot close flat because of the thickness of the decorated pages. They look chunky, which is how they came to be called fat or chunky books...."
