Making Rainbows!

It's been a month since I found time to blog.  Time does fly!

I've been busy enough... but I have managed a bit more bookbinding work too: -

* * *

A Valentine's Journal, with covers of soft red leather...

There is an embossed heart design on the front cover

...and a fancy stitched back, with hearts in longstitch...

...black cover linings, for a good contrast and white pages of lovely textured paper.
* * *

Some 6"x4" Kraft notebooks, with windows - 

these have woodland creatures on their endsheets. 

...these have floral paper...

...a couple have African animals...

...and one with bees and daisies.

There are seven different designs and they seem to have gone down well in my shops!

I also completed the binding of a Photo Album, for a customer: 

Peacock Feather Album, with Silk Trim...

...Decorative binding, in French Stitch, with deep teal linen thread...

...The stiff white pages have linen-embossed glassine tissue between them.

And Finally... On my Binding Table Now:-

A Grey Linen Photo Album, with Rainbow Pages...

Each set of pages is individually stitched to a pleated linen spine, with coloured linen, to match the page colours...

... The Covers are plain grey linen, but they are not attached yet.  The idea is that the purchaser can choose a custom trim for the cover edges - they can have a coloured strip of silk, or a ribbon, in a colour of their choice.  And also, the covers can be lined with coloured paper of their choice (or even patterned paper!). 

I'm looking forward to completing this project, with whoever chooses it.
