My Adventure in Book Making
« on: Mar 11, 2011, 12:44:21 PM »
I'm jumping the gun on this one.  I won't actually start the process until this fall.  So you can call this the pre-sequel lol.

Today i picked up some petals from the crocuses and some leaves for my future paper making experience. 

For tools I have:  exacto cutting knife large, straight ruler with metal edge, embrodery needles, awl, hammer, pencil, scrap paper, scissors, cutting mat. 

For tools I still have to get:  bone folder, paste brush, small roller (brayer), Two heavy boards and 4 "G" clamps for making a book press, and metal clamps.  Plus a 4'x8'x1" sheet of plywood for a work table, and two dressers to act as the legs and storage area for the supplies and equipment. 

I also need to finish the quilt so I have room in the craft room to do this.  According to my book, making books takes a lot of space.

plucked more crocuses out of the garden that had died.  They don't last very long do they?

The Rare Books School located in Charlottesville on the University of Virginia campus holds free seminars during the summer.  I'm very excited.  It's a long drive so I'm hoping I can find someone else who will be interested in going with me.
