Papermaking and bookmaking

Fri Oct 2, 2009, 1:19 PM

I love making paper and books!
Pics of the books I've made so far as soon as I get them back (turned 'em in to be graded now).

Grant application to do a show of ATCs has been turned in, I'll find out if I get it on the 28th.

I've never made my own paper before, but some people I have traded with have sent samples to me. I like using it for my ink drawings.

Pleasepleaseplease post how you made your book! I've been wanting to make one for a while and everyone does it differently!

mostly I've been using Japanese Stab Binding which is super easy to do. Tutorial here: [link]

I did one book using a signature binding which is more complicated

Thanks so much for that link!!! I'm gonna try it! Tell me more about "Grant application to do a show of ATC's..." what is the show?

~KatarinaNavane Oct 3, 2009, 12:02:04 PM

It'll mostly be just a show of my collection--i have about 450 of 'em now but if I get the grant money I'll be able to kick my trading up a notch and will have a lot more by spring for the show.
