I am still working away re-working some pages form a while ago...trying to design a binding and a cover to give them new life, and which looks elegant.
It is quite a mental challenge and I get highly amused by the ah-ha moments I get and where and when they arrive; at the oddest times and in the oddest places.
Still, each one nudges me closer to completion.
I have covered the spine.
And glued the pages.
Placed a nice little pause page in; such a lovely lovely edge.
The first opening.
More of those nice holes!
And the beginnings of a cover; folding and yet more holes.
And a bit of debossed letterpress as a test.
Loving the architectural folds as I play.
As I said, edging closer to a resolution. I will try a prototype soon and then hopefully five small
book-ets will emerge!

This is resolving itself gently and beautifully Fiona.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely lovely process Susan - we are doing the slowest and most gentle dance; and I am finding my way...
Deletethese holes in combination with the lovely writing will surely make a great piece of art !
ReplyDeleteThanks Annick - I love the holes and how they add to the work...go well.
