Book binding Projects as of late











And because I'm honestly a little ridiculously pleased with how I wrapped the last one, here are some photos to document it by;

Bookbinding projects of late.



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^What I made for my Dad for Father's day. I gave him a leather pamphlet book (?) five or six months ago, which I made in my bookbinding class. It started falling apart probably about a week ago, so I thought I'd make him a better one for Father's day, since he's been using the pamphlet bbok as a notebook.
 This is the book I made for my poetry. There are quite a few glitches, but I'm pretty happy about it just the same. I really love the paper, so pretty :)

This is a nice shot of the spine, which I did with the coptic stitch. I'm still kind of scared to try hard spine books. I've made them before, but the coptic stitch is sooo easy.  I generally fall back on it.

June burthdays. Whatever. Oh yeah, and books.

I gave a friend of mine a hand-made book for her sixteenth birthday. I forgot to photograph it before I wrapped it, so I took my camera with me when I went to give it to her. Therefore, instead of some uninteresting photos of an otherwise boring book, we have this gorgeous model :)

P.S. I ordered some gorgeous paper and some neutral-color bookbinding twine from Hollanders yesterday!!! I can't wait 'til it all arrives!

My camera's batteries have officially d-i-e-d.

I would love to post some pics of my latest bookbinding projects, but, alas, my camera's batteries hate me. And---- My sibs won't quit using the camera without asking me. Rats. I shall have to find some batteries for my Arches trip, I refuse to go without a working (Read, has batteries that don't die after three photos) camera. Think of all the photogenic moments (and people ;)! {Wow, that looks really weird, if I do say so myself. BTW, my writing becomes more entertaining when my little sister is spying on me, her cute little 12-year-old chin resting on the comp desk "Awww, Bryn! Gosh!"} MWahahaha >:}
