This is the second book we made this term at the bookbinding class. It is a type of tacket binding, however, I am going to have to undo the stitching because I have not got it tight enough. The cover is a piece of heavy watercolour paper that has been coloured with acrylic paint applied through a stencil and then given a wash of procion dye. The inside is just procion dye with clingfilm applied to it to create a pattern. I have sealed the outside cover with acrylic wax.
Did you do this paper at the needle museum ? The dye wash over the acrylic looks really good.
ReplyDeleteNo, I did it at home sat on the kitchen floor with my plastic table cloth for protection. The stencil was new though.
