Almost done printing!

 I think I might have finished printing my silences for the Book of Silences! This is an exciting moment as the many pages, printed back and front and on left and right sides, sit around the studio space drying and waiting.

If all goes as planned, I have printed title pages, 16 silences, an acknowledgements page and a colophon. I have a low level hum of minor anxiety/concern/worry that when I go to  fold the pages and put the book together that I may have calculated incorrectly or planned wrongly and things don't matchup, line up or go in the right sequence.

I will however cross that bridge when I come to it. For now there is a real sense of satisfaction at having made it this far.

Here are some of the printings...

And hear are some of the many, many tests, trials and proofing...

A wee break for a bit, then I shall return to prepare the covers, and fold the pages and the end papers and the covers.

Then I will pierce the stitching holes for them all; then I will stitch them all; then I will trim them all.

All being well, and with no detours to printing again in the meantime!
