This photo has double import for today.
First, and less obvious but still significant, the box upon which these books are displayed: this is the leftover Crane box from the 425 invitation addresses that were finished today! Yay!
Second, the books. I looked around the studio after the invitation addresses went out, and decided I could still make the artistbook swap deadline — if I got them done today and overnighted them, that is. I got right to work 🙂 No time for a new design, so I decided to do something I’ve done before, only with different covers. And I’ve never swapped these before.
Here are the books swaddled in wax paper and lying on my gridded cutting mat. I sent them off that way to ensure that the accordion folds closest to the covers didn’t stick to the covers in transit.
Oh, it’s fun to make books, even if the design isn’t new.
I like the designs on the books
Thanks, moviewatcher.
the books look great Beth.
gosh I have not done a book in so long.
Yes, that quick foray into bookmaking has me wanting to make more. I’m thinking of trying the Secret Belgian structure since I saw a tutorial online for it.
