(especially the location! ;))<br />Monika, I've often imagined you thread paintings as a book cover! I'm sure if you made a book like this, you would spice it up with a needle and thread!<br />Ruth, it was a great day! I love attending workshops like this when the opportunity comes up.PrairiePeasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501884283182432694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117988941634686299.post-4710318141670754452012-04-17T09:25:10.570-05:002012-04-17T09:25:10.570-05:00that sounds like so much fun!that sounds like so much fun!Periwinkle Dzynshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10910451178723855942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117988941634686299.post-47576041831077766852012-04-17T09:23:03.352-05:002012-04-17T09:23:03.352-05:00Oh you are so lucky!!

I spent Saturday learning a "Longstitch Early Codex Leather Binding". Quite straightforward and simple to do, but the results were just fabulous. I wish I'd been brave and asked the other students to set up their books, so I could take a "group shot" of all our work. There was a lot of experimentation with closures and also adding interest to the binding - weaving and tying the threads on the spine etc. Between seven of us, we made about 12 lovely books and were all very happy with the results. (I also blogged about my weekend, so you can see my books there, if you wish!) <br />I like how you used strong, plain paper for the main book cover, then wove in other coloured papers - very effective and a good way to learn a new technique. <br />I'm off to look for this kind of binding again, in one of my books. I'm sure I saw something similar...Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.com
