Take a look at the winners of the DB International Bookbinding Competition. Here’s a little more information about the competition. The book being bound in each case was a specially commissioned fine press, limited-edition (500) publication from Incline Press, entitled Water. It contains poems and illustrations about water.
I love to see all the different approaches to the same subject. I’m probably denigrating this exhibit to compare it to a challenge quilt exhibit, but I love both in the just the same way. They’re both testaments to the individual creativity of us humans. The image shown here is of the 2nd prize book, made by Jenny Grey.
Thanks for posting this link, Beth. Fascinating! The diversity is really inspiring; some beautiful images here.
