Fresh made. Hand made book cloth.

I wasn’t as productive as I’d like to have been this weekend. Today I made my second attempt at making book cloth. This time I used silk! I’m still definitely getting accustomed to the technique, and I’ve got some time to go until I’m air bubble free. At least I know that it’s usable, though!

Sorry for the quality! My camera’s in the shop for cleaning!

This here would be my first venture into making book cloth. Huzzah! Obviously, I’ve got some work to do in getting better, but one day, I will be unstoppable in the art of book making!

This year I decided that I would have a crafty Christmas. Everyone was going to be getting a handmade gift.
