Current projects 2
Posted by Peter Bangs on Wednesday, October 6, 2010
The other project is making the book of The Daily Viking. This has been a longer job as book construction fascinates me and I want to get this right.
The book is printed on A5 sheets of various pale shades from The Paper Mill. I then drilled the pages with a tiny little hobby drill 5 times about 3 centimetres from the left edge and used a Japanese binding technique, substituting a fine wire for the usual cord. The covers' curently unfinished, are jointed and covered with a grey/blue scrapbooking paper. The quarterbinding will be done with a slightly twinkley near black paper, again from The Paper Mill. I then just need to decide on endpapers.
I'll post more photos as soon as the book is finished.
