Here are the pieces.
I showed this last week but now it is finished
Nice paper that can handle mixed media including water.
Which color waxed linen thread?
I like this one the best.
I also asked my across the street neighbor to come over for lunch and a book making play date. I finished my book while she made hers.
Either side can be the front of the book.
Another readers had made two books after reading my bookmaking tutorial and sent pictures of her lovely book. This is the link to your blog post and she goes into detail about how she did it. Great to see how each person can make a book but that each one can be so creative and different. Thanks Elle!!I also asked my across the street neighbor to come over for lunch and a book making play date. I finished my book while she made hers.

My neighbor Grace took her book home to finish the coptic binding and here is the results
The colors look a bit pale because I took this picture outside at high noon!!!
Grace used some of my paste paper but now that I have her "hooked" on bookmaking we are having a paste paper playdate with Marcella Tuesday. Then Grace will have her own stash for covers!!
Thanks for your inspiration, Beth. Now to improve on my new 'luv'!
