\"2015-10-05-worktable-in-progress-items\"<\/a>Lots of projects going these days.<\/p>\n

Today members of our local guild bound a test text block for the collaborative book we’ve been working on. We are making a standard case binding using the same paper on which the book will be printed. Today we got as far as applying the mull to the spine. I had brought supplies for this, and I was determined to unpack it all when I got back to my studio. This led eventually to trimming the\u00a0text block and\u00a0applying\u00a0a headband. You can just see that text block underneath the top black square of paper. I did go ahead and cut out the cover and spine boards, but that’s for another day, because I continued to work on …<\/p>\n

Some of what I tried today is shown above: sumi ink, pigment ink, gold gel pen, and fine marker on white, black and shimmery gold stock.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I got out two travel watercolor sets and made test cards using a water brush. At the tops of the cards are the pure colors. At the\u00a0bottoms of the cards I’ve experimented with mixing and tints.<\/p>\n
