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.
