Case Bound Book at Pyramid Atlantic

5/5/2015

On April 18, I returned to Pyramid Atlantic for a class with Linda Rollins.  They called it Bookbinding III, and the day was taken up making a case bound book.  As before, I enjoyed working with Linda.  She noticed and acknowledged the skills I have mastered, but didn't hesitate to point out mistakes and to help me fix them.  She gave good, honest feedback while remaining positive and encouraging.  A great teacher!

I am pleased with the book.  I managed to complete it without any major blunders and I think think it is handsome.  The decorative end papers are my own paste paper. Pyramid Atlantic has a hot stamp machine -- we didn't think to turn it on in time to let it heat up, but I cold stamped a decorative curlycue shape on the front cover.  The embossing is not deep, but it is quite visible. The photo below doesn't do it justice.
