Would you want the rows in your garden to be labelled with singulars or plurals?
Singular: there's only one kind of plant there
Plural: since there's more than one plant, the label should reflect that
Don't care: as long as I can read it, the details are unimportant

Binding

posted Thursday, 22 March 2007

Over on Making Light they've been talking a lot about bookbinding, and then I found a collection of how-to links.  And I've flirted with bookbinding a bit in the past, mostly making little-bitty books for my dolls and so forth.  So yesterday I made a blank book.  I sewed the signatures and everything, though the case is made of blue office paper and the boards are cut out of the backing from last year's blotter calendar.  I sewed it with embroidery floss, because I had the Conan sampler with me (which I haven't touched in two days, I should get it done and photographed already).

I'm pretty sure this is how you tell you're bored at your job.

Given the tools and materials I had to work with, it came out surprisingly well.  Of course I have no clue what I'm going to do with a very fragile, 4x6", 252-page hardcover book.
