I have noted authors and illustrators in all cases where they are mentioned on each book. I also use the terminology and capitalization as printed. Sometimes I see 'written by' or 'author' or illustrated by' or 'pictures by' etc. I think it is interesting to see what words they choose and it makes me wonder how they think about their work.

Today I started sewing book parts on a shirt. Over the last 7 or 8 days, I finished one colorful and one black, white and gray 'necklace' on cotton backing,(about 55 book-quin pieces each) and 7 smaller necklaces (4 book-quin pieces each,) I used a circle cutter for some of these.
