Class 4 of 4
Fancy bindings. The one on the right is crossed snowshoe. The one on the left is chain stitch. It is supposed to go all the way along the spine, but I was starting to run out of blue thread and was getting bored. So, two colors moving away from each other. I don’t hate it.
Fun with stamps. Decorated endpapers for the green book.
This is why. Coming into class and finding all the materials ready to go. This is why I repeated the book class.
Also an ample abundance of materials to experiment with.

Have I mentioned the trouble I have typing the word shoe? It wants to come out show. Turns out snow is the same. Showshoe. Not so much my showing as years of covering horse shows.
Onwards!

Your skill is improving. Both books are pleasant to see. The two-color spine is useful. It tells you which way is up.

I love Baynes’s Narnia illustrations.
I used to have just about that many ink pads and rubber stamps at one time. I constantly regret not bringing more craft supplies with me when I moved here, despite the lack of space.
Baynes is Narnia.
Beautiful books!
Thank you. I’m trying to bring myself to use the ones I make. That is the point, after all.
