Using up some of the marbled paper I made to make notebooks #bookbinding

Just finished a four week #marbling course @citylit.bsky.social Made so many papers and did actual improve as the weeks went on. Even managed a spanish wave :-) Got to make combs to take home as well! #bookbinding #pattern

First attempt at sewing an endband. Wrong core, not sure how to keep it steady, wonky tension. Still pretty pleased with the result! #bookbinding #learning

Everyone's final work from Rebinding a letterpress book @citylit.bsky.social - and then pics of my book because it was my one #bookbinding #books #hardwork

Took @skyshark.itch.io to the Science Museums #StarTrek late night. I think he had fun

A braided spine and a cross stitch spine (both from Keith a smiths 1,2,3 sections book) #bookbinding #homework for @citylit.bsky.social visible stitching

Trying a cross stitch (?) spine. #bookbinding

Paste papers! From tonight's Binding a letterpress book at @citylit.bsky.social So much fun I forgot to take proper pics! #bookbinding

Carrying on with notebook making and practicing my French link stitch #bookbinding

Both brilliant books

Spent the afternoon sewing a soft cover notebook with French link stitching (from Making Books) Ended up laminating the cover as my paper needed some extra hefty! #bookbinding

Every librarian secretly thinks this - the profession is just all of us fighting these urges

The city lit course im doing is rebinding an old book- today we finally got to sewing up the text block! #bookbinding

Making sections for #bookbinding - not sure what Ill actually make with them yet but thats a problem for future me!
