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. 

Bookmaking

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. 

Testing out ideas

Project in Progress

A  preview into my most recent shoot, photographing the diaries themselves. The book shown here was written in 1936.

Handmade books : Brenda's diaries

A few months ago I spoke about my new photography project involving a set of  diaries I bought at a car boot. The photos below are mock up books I've been making using scans from the diaries.
