Ex Libris


For Carlos' birthday, I made him a library kit. It consisted of a changing date stamp, black ink pad, hand-made cards with envelopes (return date cards to attach to the insides of books), a master log for recording who checked an item out of his library and when, and finally some ex libris' (ex libri?) AKA, bookplates. I have blurred out his name in the copy above, but they turned out really cool! I drew some things he likes, scanned the image, added shading in photoshop, then printed them out onto inkjet sticker paper and cut them out. I should do this with my own ex libris!
