Putting the glamour into making books.
Posted by on July 26, 2007
If my last book looked a bit ‘homespun’, this one is very ritzy. I used a wrapping paper for the cover and lining and I think it looks very glamorous. More like this to follow. I am off to buy more paper supplies next week, so will stock up on lovely Japanese Chiyogami papers (screenprinted paper). I also thought it might be fun to design paper patterns using Adobe Illustrator, so I am going to experiment and see how I get on.
thank you for visit my blog. Cailin.info inspirin me too. This moth i make some guest book for weddings. But her is not easy to buy nice paper.
This one is very nice and, just like you said, glamourous.
Sory about my bad english!
Your English is a lot better than my Portuguese!
I use gift wrapping paper if I can’t see any nice book papers or Japanese paper. This book is made from a sheet of giftwrap!There are companies in the US who will mail order paper.
Check out http://www.papermojo.com and http://www.paper-source.com.
In the UK, check out http://www.falkiners.com for lovely Japanese and marbled paper.
That looks beautiful and eyecatching. I’m in England as well (Birmingham)
Hello Jean-Luc
Thank you very much.
Poor you being stuck in Birmingham. Of all the places in the space-time continuum to end up. Your blog is very good!
PS Make it so, Number One. I’ve always wanted to say that :-)
You’re right, Diane; it wasn’t the best place in the world to land up. Still, resistance is futile!
