Japanese house book


I love this little house book. The walls and roof all open up to reveal the inside touches including a little book hanging from the pitch of the roof














Star Book


I used to teach star books a while ago, this is one of my samples, page decoration is not really my current style.


view from the top.



                                               
pages below













I might redecorate the pages one day.They're not too bad i guess, I must have been into tags then.


Latest Book with flip through on youTube.


This book was created for a friend with a preference for mauve as a thank you.


hope you like it.

Smaller books made from water colour paper.


Here are two smaller books made from one sheet of water colour paper painted with an extended 
(1 meter long) brush and Indian ink.


After the mark making, the sheet is torn into pages 10cm x 14cm, then each torn page is folded in half to measure 10 x 7 cm.




Each small book has seven signatures of two pages each.
Stitched together using waxed linen thread and coptic stitch.
   
                                               

                                           The spine stitching is woven with embroidery floss, then embellished with
buttons.

Discoveries in the Studio




I've been sorting through collections in the studio, found this book that I made years ago, to go into another project containing botanical themed items. Like this book for recording Field notes, small glass bottles containing plant seeds etc.
It is a piano hinged style binding on bamboo skewers. I had made many of this style before this one. 
and sold them as wedding guest books and journals.


Plain, cream parchment paper inside this one, no lines.
five signatures, ten pages per signature.


covers 17cm x 17cm.
