Description

So this is from my first book arts class. The assignment was western papermaking and because it is just as easy to make color rag paper as it is to make white everyone got a color. My color ended up being a rather pulpy nasty denim dark blue. I didn't beat it enough and there was a lot of failure and I forgot to add sizing which is what keeps paper from being too absorbent aka watercolor paper has a lot of sizing. So basically my paper is as good to draw on as a shirt... lol

Bitching aside I pulled it all together into this rather nice coptic with oak covers. Book binding is clearly my strong point.

That's pretty awesome. I don't suppose there's any sort of tutorial on that kind of binding? It just really has a lovely "craftsman" feel to it. Handmade without looking homemade. You know.

'course I'm sure that your mad skills have a lot to do with that :) again, awesome work.
