I made my first Youtube tutorial you guys! It took a lot of guts.. so let me know what you think :)
I notices that I started keeping cereal boxes and waffle boxes 😂
I got Tess of D'urbervilles 1931 edition from a old book shop, its cover is in 2 pieces and its lower side is bleached, the spine is also further breaking away. I want to remake its cover and in a hastey decision peeled off the detached front covers book cloth, which i severely regret. I have a few questions please help me i feel regretful Q1. Should i remake a replica of its existing cover or make a cover of my choice? Q2. Is it unethical or wrong to remake covers of old books?
I have been binding long stitch journals for quite a while, and would like to play with interesting geometric patterns, but I'm not sure how to start. I see all of these beautiful books with diamond patterns and whatnot along the spines, and different colors being used, and I want to play!
Is there a special technique for this?
Hello! Im not a bookbinder, but i was wondering what technique you guys would use to stick a sterling silver brooch shaped thing to a moleskine planner cover. Im a metalsmith and want to personalize the planner to distinguish it from a friends so ill be making the broochy thing with silver. Thanks!
