Side life

Just came across this post. It’s the work of Veronica Bailey and her amazing decorated edges. Take a look and read the post if you have a chance. I have no idea of how this was done. Anyone knows?

Experimental Book Mock-up

Spine showing my super quick sewing

Spread of the ‘damaged’ image

In this case, the spine wasn’t even connected

Detail of the spread

So here is the mock-up of my experimental book.

The binding/format seems to be working nicely. The only problem I’ve found is with the glue. When I opened the pages, the images on the spine were damaged and I have no idea of how to apply the right amount of glue.

My guesses are:

1. I’m applying too much glue on the spine
2. The spine was not aligned when the glue was applied
3. My sewing was not tight/sturdy enough

If anyone can help, I’d appreciate!

Sewing

Yesterday Reg showed us some book binding techniques and right after I came across this animation of a sewing machine. I kept staring at it for a few minutes… very amusing!

Found here.
