Love Poems

To Josh.

Over the past 7 years I've written tons of poems for my boyfriend so I decided for our anniversary this year I would give them to him as a book. I started by dying the paper in coffee and earl grey tea (his favorites) and a few sheets in raspberry tea (mine). I then wrote out all the poems in a sort of calligraphy inspired cursive. I found sheet music from As the World Falls Down from Labyrithn and used that to make little pockets to keep messages and pictures in. I dried and pressed flowers and mod podged them onto the pages. I also cut out each of our silhouttes out of leather and attatched them to the pages using glue. Finally I bound all the pages together in leather and closed it off with a ribbon. I'll be giving it to him tonight but I'm sure he'll love it.
