Book Making Preview: Sketchbooks
Here’s a quick look at what we will be making on Wednesday… Sketchbooks! We will do the binding in class. The cover art can be done before or after we bind the sketchbook.
The Overview (next Blog post) will give you all the details, but for now, I just wanted to show you one example of the cover art.
You probably have the materials at home, but I have also mailed you a small kit that includes a needle, embroidery thread and heavy paper for the cover and back.
I glued the cyanotype to the heavy paper to make a sturdy cover for the example book, but you do not need to use a cyanotype- any drawing, collage, etc is fine. We will do the binding together. The cover art can be created before or after binding, so I wanted to let you have time to decide.
