This started as an accident. I had glued some paper to the cover and didn't like it so I tore it off. Then I tried to paint it and realized that layers of the paper mache had come off with the paper. I went ahead and just stained it instead. Then I realized that between the peeling off of the paper and the moisture from the glue and stain, the cover was starting to tear off. I set it aside and the next day at work came up with the idea of stitching the cover on...and there you have it.

Unless otherwise noted, they are made from little paper mache book-shaped boxes about 2.5 inches tall by 2 inches wide.
