Pebble Stencil
I have been busy cutting out paper to make new books this past week and also creating some coloured papers for the covers. I have had the pebble stencil used below for some time and am not convinced I really like it but it looks okay on this book which is an A5 Secret Belgian Binding. Going to try a new Coptic book using two needles together over the next week or so as I do not like the effect of the row of kettle stitches at the top and bottom of the spine on the normal Coptic binding method. Fear I may have some problems with the fatness of the signatures at the spine end of the page, but shall see.

I love reading about process like this - I see the words and read them, but it is rather like a maths or physics question on university challenge - I hear the words, know that they are speaking English, but it is a foreign language all the same !
