It’s been some time since I posted. There just never seems to be any time. Ah well. That’s life, isn’t it?
I was lucky enough to be granted release time from my job this spring to pursue my bookbinding. The goal of the release time was to work on non-adhesive bindings and to try and create a small studio space for myself at home. Well, I kinda got that done and am now able to use my summer professional development time to try and document what I did as well as to continue bookbinding.
I began my spring project late, but I managed to complete several bindings: a coptic binding, a photoalbum utilizing screwposts, and a japanese binding featuring a hemp stitch. I also purchased a board cutter and a stand for the cutter.
I hope to begin documenting the steps I took with each over the next few weeks. I have photos and will hopefully remember each step in the process. I’m about to begin another photoalbum for my niece, so that should help.
Pictures! We need pictures! lol…

I agree. My husband moved my photos off the computer, and I’m still seeking the disk he put them on. The good news is that I’m going to devote dedicated time each Friday to get these pictures and posts written. 🙂
I am very pleased to have found your blog and have just posted a link about sewing headbands. Yours look a lot neater than mine!
I just found your blog and all I can say is WOW!! This is just wonderful. You have created a basics of bookbinding. I think you have a “how-to” book here. Thanks for sharing.
