cutting, stitching, sticking.
Behind the scenes look of a book I've been working on. It will be very small , 3 inches x 3.5 inches and Japanese stab bound.
These images are printed on thin cartridge papers.

Stitching books
Images from 3 books I've been working on. I've been experimenting with stitching within my books. Japanese stab binding is something I'm really interested in at the moment (The middle book is 3 hole stab bound) and definitely want to develop further.

It's been a busy few weeks. These images are of a mock up for a concertina book I've been working on recently. The book is only about 3 inches high, and 2 inches wide. I love working with really small books. This book has five tiny one inch pockets inside containing folded found photographs and documents printed on thin and delicate papers. I like the interactivity within the book and the way it folds out from something so small and contained.
It's not a finalised design yet. I want to do some more tests and experimentation with different papers, printing methods and cover options.
