I made this!----------------------------------------------------------->
I mean it- book binding is alot of fun, and I really hope I can go somewhere with this. The little red book may not look like much but it is in fact a circle accordian and no matter how you want to fold the paper it WILL NOT work. The satisfaction of finally cracking it is ultimately what got me through today.
The second style we acheived was the Japanese style. This actually turned out to be a dissaster, but I reckon I pulled off something decent in the end. I used one of my letterpress peices to make the cover, which is spray mounted onto think cardboard (very badly cut at a little wonky--pay attention to measurements and angles!) There is then another piece of thick cardboard at the back with pieces of plain white paper and more red vellum sandwhiched in between. Take a hammer and nails to one side of it, bash some holes and stitch the whole thing together and you have a pretty decent little book thing. It could be a sketchbook, notebook, photo album, diary... This is why I like book binding so much. I think I have a new hobby.
