Jac's Blog: April 2017. I am working at the moment on a book that I'm hoping to print using gum arabic transfer.
I’ve written the words and worked out a provisional layout. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been working on the images. These are some of the earlier thoughts. I took photos of them to use to work out the layout and for some reason the black and white drawings seemed to have developed a slight colour cast. I exaggerated this in photoshop and like it so much that I’m going to try and replicate it for the final images. Abecedarian Gallery. Letting in the Light. Log In. Handmade Photo Albums Journals Custom Wedding by LotusBluBookArt. The best way to attach covers to a coptic binding - paperiaarre.
You know me, pretty determined about finding and using the best practices for all sorts of things… This week I’m writing about a little detail regarding attaching covers to a Coptic bound book – the hidden diagonal stitch (for the lack of a better term).
Have you noticed how the sewing thread in my Coptic bound books enters the covers at the edge of the cover board? It may seem like a very minor thing, but it’s actually something quite relevant to the durability and stability of the finished book.

She saw it at a crafts fair in Australia, then found it in the book Live & Learn: Real Life Journals: Designing & Using Handmade Books by Gwen Diehn under the name Flat-Style Australian Reverse Piano Hinge binding (which is just one syllable short of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious). It is true that it employs the mechanism of a piano hinge. The Largest Range Of Book Clasps & Catches In The World!

Catches Pieces Fastenings. Lili's Bookbinding Blog. (The book above is currently available in my Etsy Shop) This book is a coptic book made to look like a Japanese Stab binding.
Because it was made as a wedding gift, I wanted it to open flat the way a coptic opens, but because the bride and groom had both spent time in Japan, I wanted to style it as a Japanese binding. The solution was to have Japanese-style stitching through the board as ornament, but not through the actual text block. (The book is available for sale at my Etsy Shop) Craft Marketing.

I walked through the expo last January and was well aware that, not only were there no other book makers, but that the only other “hand-craft” based business in the entire expo (besides photographers, caterers and cake makers of course) specialized in hand-built, rustic arches under which you could say your vows.

Morgan Le Fae's Trinkets: Altered book, my new iPhone case. Lately my daughter and I have been making books and booklets, among other things. We even started a little DaWanda shop to sell some of the booklets we make. It's called "Morgan Le Fea's Trinkets, after my daughters second name. Making these booklets is very relaxing and leaves room for all sorts of creativity, as I found cruising the internet. So much creative people out there, it's amazing, and, as I found, many blogs reside here on blogger (or blogspot, whatever it is called). So I thought I would start a blog here as well. I do have another blog on lifejournal (also called Morgan Le Fea's Trinkets), that is more focussed on making victorian clothes and unmentionables (another one of my interrests).
