A New Book

The latest offering. I made a buttonhole binding book for hubby’s birthday – only a week late but he’s really pleased with it.
A before shot showing the 6 signatures and the hard case before binding:

I used black bookcloth for the cover and bound with linen thread. I used Italian paper on the inside cover , and a mixture of watercolour paper and lined and gridded papers for the pages.


The book lies flat when open which makes this a nice book for writing in.


The book measures about 8 inches square.
I have an orchestra rehearsal today but hopefully I’ll get to try out a new screenprint in the next couple of days.
