Trying this and that

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!
