I thought it was time to bring back the art & design side of things to this stream. I've been shooting images for my portfolio this week. Sadly, I don't think this little book will make the cut. I guess it wins a feature over here instead.
I made this a couple of years ago as a project in my bookbinding class. It's 100% hand-done by me. It is built from escaboard and bookcloth, blind-debossed on the front (from a hot-foil stamper), and then the interior was built out of craft paper and vintage semi-transparent sewing patterns—the theme being pattern-recognition, or lack thereof. It is a spin-off of a coptic stitch. All the interior imagery and type was inititally hand-drawn by me, and then I used the old oil-of-wintergreen technique in making rubbing prints (god, did I hate the smell of mint for a while). This book was produced in an edition of five.
Anyway, yeah. Just thought I'd change things up.
