Book Catch-Up

Life is really busy here as always, but I am managing some book-binding work, in amongst all the rush.  So, I  thought I'd just post a little update on what I have been working on recently: 

A Coral-pink leather journal with light blue longstitch binding. 

 Lined with a Cath Kidston designed paper... 

 it contains lined pages, with the lines printed in pink 

and the pages have a floral design in a kind-of watermark print.

An Artists Book.  

This has stiffened covers of black leather and is stitched in a coptic style with pale orange thread.

The covers are lined with a hand-marbled paper, by artist & bookbinder, Rhonda Miller... 

The pages are three types of artist's paper - cartridge drawing paper / pastel paper / watercolour paper.

This journal has covers of softest leather, in lovely aqua blue.  

The floral design is raised-embossing.

  It has plain white pages, with cover lining & endsheets of this great birdcage patterned paper.  

The paper even has glittery bits, which is fun.

I showed you these fun little 6"x4" notebooks... 

So, I added a couple more to the collection - fun, aren't they?

And I've been making more rainbow notebooks - this one is 7"x5", with pastel pages in 10 colours.

I showed you this very large photo album recently, which I sent as a gift for a friend with a new baby boy.

It was well received, so I'm really very happy about that!

And currently, I am working on two large albums - one with a cover paper you may well have seen a couple of times before, but the other will have a very lovely, summery design paper, which I have never used for a book before now, with a very unusual paper trim at the bound edge of the covers.  The binding for this is a bit experimental too ... 

I hope all will be revealed very soon!
