Tomoe River Journals And More

[GatzBcn]

Lovely piece of work!

 

Thank you very much for your kind words!!

 

Is that creme-colored paper?

 

Actually, he asked for half of the journal white and the other half creme. I don't remember for sure, but I think this is the white part... The camera makes it seem not so white, but I think it is the white Tomoe River.

Some pictures of something I worked on last month. I will post the final pictures as soon as I can .

This was a Coptic journal, where the back cover was made with blue leather and the front cover using paste paper that I had previously made.

Today I will show a very special project I worked on for the last month. It as big - very big. The size of the page was A4. The style was Springback and, since the owner wanted the pages to open 180º flat, I added escartivanas. These are the addendum you see close to the spine.

I will upload the images of the work finished very soon .

 

This was the textblock sewed.

It was pretty thick already.

Second cover and spine. You can see very well the escartivanas here. Also, I usually wrap the text block in draft paper after past experiences were stains of paste appeared on the text block .

Looking jaws under the table. Which paper are you using? I presume is A3. Could you post a photo with the book open? The binding with escartivanas I know once open does not lie flat.

[amberleadavis]

I am so impressed!
