sketchbook project: phase III
had a moment thinking i should’ve tried this as a traditional sketchbook, but no, this paper doesn’t work for me
if at first you don’t succeed… so i am now on my 3rd attempt; totally embracing preproduction now
all the elements are basically in place: pages adhered to each other, now cutting the “frame” overlays
uh oh… managed to destroy the binding while removing excess pages, do not hesitate: get right back on this horse
now on the 4th (& last) book: being uber slow and careful
decided not to stick the individual pages together this time; just going to tape ‘em up as a group
there are a couple of aspects that require real care because there’s no going back if i f*** up.
figuring out a template for sewing on the (2-toned) ribbon (check that sh*t out next post)
i usually like the backside of my embroidery the best, makes sense: it’s the process vs product thang
gon’na pull out all my old tricks: rubber stamps i haven’t used in eons; sometimes it pays to be a pack rat
