I Made a Flip Book
Hi! How are you all? Christmas is getting a little close for comfort, isn’t it? No matter how prepared I think I am, it always manages to creep up on me. My shop’s been open almost three weeks, and so far I’ve shipped packages to so many different destinations – much more geographically diverse than what I recall selling on Etsy. I couldn’t have wished for a better shop launch. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far!
I just finished this little flip book. I would love to design an entire book, from cover to cover. Maybe one day… Meanwhile, this was really fun to make. I thought it would be a more interesting way to show my work than just a regular ol’ pdf. What do you think?
Next on my to do list is to send out a newsletter to my lovely subscribers. If you’re not on my mailing list, you can sign up here. I’ll be announcing a special offer, so you might like to join if you were thinking of doing some holiday shopping in the Magic Jelly Emporium!
If only this was a real catalog. Absolutely beautiful.
(I have to say – when I read “flip book”, I immediately thought of those books where you flip the edges of the pages to see an animation. I used to make those out of my school journals.)
Thanks Irit! I wish it was real too! :)
I’d forgotten about those little flip animations, I used to make those at school too – little running stick men!
Your book looks soooo great! Love all the little details. What a fantastic showcase, I particularly like the black and white repeat Iris’s! Imagine that as wallpaper…
Thanks Stevie! I’m happy with the way the Iris pattern worked out. It reminds me of a 70s wallpaper – it should be printed in black on silver foil (with potted parlour palm & peacock chair)!
I love it! It’s beautiful! I can’t say which is my favourite. I love the page with the pastel bunnies and the factory…and…
Thanks Marky! I only just finished off the factory today!
Like Irit, when I read “flip book,” I thought animation too! You did such a great job on it. Very cool!!!
Thanks Cadry! You’ve all got me thinking, is it even correct to call this a flip book? I’m pretty sure it also means an e-magazine/book that you flip through… Maybe I should have made an animation! :P
This was really neat. I love it and of course it reminds me of books that I grew up with the style of it just like all of your creations.
Thank you Debra! I had books that I loved when I was little too that had lovely patterned endpapers – I really wanted to try & recreate something like that!
Very cool! I thought you meant flip book as in animation, too. :)
Looks like fun, how did you make it? (I’m a print book designer and so have not a clue.)
Thank you Liz! It’s really easy, you can upload any pdf to Issuu & make a little e-mag that you can embed & share. http://issuu.com/
Thanks Karena!
I love it! Such a wonderful little portfolio. I would totally hire you, Karena! ;) xoxo
Thanks Jess! Let’s hope it’s more effective than standing on the corner with a “Will draw for donuts” sign! :)
Fabulously done and so much fun to flip through. Your work always makes me nostalgic, in such a good way.
Thank you Vicki! :)
Your Flip book was great! Just love the art work you create. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Julia! :)
Jaw dropped and head shaking. I think you are so wonderfully talented and inspiring. I wish you great, GREAT success, it is so deserved!
This is just cool! So inspirational. My first thought was, I need to have this book :-)
You’re just amazing!
Wow! That is really nice, it’s layed out beautifully. You did a great job. I love your work, each piece makes me smile and brightens my day, you are one talented lady :) Keep it up!
How cool is that? I love those little marching bunnies with the alphabet flags! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
It’s so so beautiful. If it was a real book-I would buy IT. Thanx fot sharing. I found you’re work on Pinterest. Hope t join you there. Have a nice Friday. Greetings with heart&soul from Zilly
