To a book artist who is guilty of carrying her cards in a rubberband, this seemed like a good project for today! Although his example places the side flaps on the bottom section of the structure, I placed mine on the center section.<\/p>\n<p>I was pleased with the overall result, although I imagine that the only way to avoid stupid mistakes in construction is to make the structures often enough and enough times that I don&#8217;t have to stop and think about where to make the cuts.<\/p>\n<p>Dennis&#8217;s instructions say to make the lining flaps a little larger than the cover flaps &#8212; and this is sound advice since it allows the trimming of the flaps after the lining and cover flaps are pasted together. But I found this problematic if too much leeway is allowed for, because there is that awkward intersection of center section and adjacent hinge and flap.<\/p>\n<p>I used a green moire book cloth that is fairly unforgiving of paste-y fingers. The book cloth was left over from my final project last semester in photography class. And now I realize I never posted anything about that. Maybe I&#8217;ll post photos of that soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always enjoy reading Denis Yuen&#8217;s blog, Cai Lun.
