Over the last couple of days I have been putting together this handmade book as a potential project for a gathering of some of the UK course graduatesĀ of the Creative Chemistry 101 online course with Tim Holtz. The cover is made from 100gsm paper dragged through Distress Paints, which has the bonus of being waterproof once dry. The lining was done the same way. The pages are folded fromĀ A5Ā printed sheets of paper and stuck down the openingĀ edge with 3mm wide double sided tape to form the tag pockets. TheyĀ are handsewn for binding before gluing the spine and sticking into the cover.The completed book contains 25 different #5 tags with the instructions, and I probably need to explore a concertina binding on the spine to account for this…
[Book dimensions: 31/4″x51/4″ (8cm x 13cm)]
Love this idea for keeping track of techniques. Thanks for sharing it.
such a perfect way of showcasing all the tags used in the class! I didn’t know that the distress paint is waterproof once dry…thanks!
