I finished the books that I had started in the last post. No major disasters and I’m happy with the results. You can see the complete process in photos on this page.
Here are the completed books.
Finished Books
The three in the back row are the ones that have Clay themes. The first is “Lady Luck”, for the duet that Clay and Dee Snider did of “Luck Be a Lady Tonight.” It has an Italian paper with antique playing cards on the covers and endpapers that I hand-marbled.

Book with title and endpapers.
The second book was a tribute to the version of “Lean on Me” that Clay sang on the finale.
Always Tomorrow
I titled it “Always Tomorrow” for the spirit of always going toward the next thing. I think the pattern on the marbled covers reflects upward aspirations.

The endpapers are made from some wonderful Italian decorative paper that shows all the months of the year with typical activities for each month in various Italian towns.
The last book has a cover of papyrus, so I had to give it a a desert theme. Of course, papyrus actually grows along rivers, but I associate it with desert countries. 
The only song I could think of was “Get Here” which has the line “…cross the desert …” so that gave me the title for the book. 
The endpapers are a yellow and brown swirl pattern that reminds me a sandstorms and deserts.
So this was a good week for me. Now I think I’ll move on to those portfolios and notebooks I was playing with in my last post.
