Book

Had book binding session down at Vernon St on Friday. 

Loved it. 

Nice to do something handcrafted for a change. Somehow I managed not to glue all the pages together which was a bonus, but did in the first instance mess up - folded the pages not quite in half so some of the photos bleed onto the opposite page! But, all in all, really pleased, loved the process and happy with the results, "it looks like an actual book!!"

Still without my own digital camera and the one I'm (very kindly) being lent does not like dim light conditions or macro much, so don't have any decent photos to post up. I'll blog it later when the books are returned and pop some half decent ones up now.

ahh that binding is awesome! how did you do the spine so well? i need to go to one of the workshops at college and learn, my attempts are always a bit haphazard!

Ta! Everyone's spine turned out like that, pretty much. Yeah if you go to a workshop its really simple to do but looks quite professional! x
