Back in the olden days, when I first started this blog, I was still making a lot of Kindle reader and iPad covers to sell on my first Etsy shop (Steve Bennett of the Express-News did a story on them in 2010 – “Judge eReader by Its Cover”). One of my buyers from that time wrote last month to ask if I would make a custom cover for her iPad – she likes retro elements but with a bit of whimsy. Here’s the cover I did for her, the first in a long time – she just sent me a note saying how much she liked it. Yay!
The iPad fits in between elastic cords on the inside front cover. It was fun revisiting this project – these covers are pretty labor intensive depending on how many collage elements you add, but you really can do one for yourself. In fact, I also wrote a post on how to make you own! You will enjoy this mixed-media project – it has both attractive form and useful function. Try it!
Enjoyed your show and tell today, even though I just caught the end. What is the title of the book that tells you the right kind of glue for everything? I use a lot of glue, and the right one makes a difference. Thanks.
Thanks, Terry – it’s called The Mixed Media Handbook – here’s a link:

Love seeing your delightful “portable” art being reinvented! It is beautiful.
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
