color process scroll
My color process book is relatively straightforward, you can see most of it in its entirety on the first image.
It is 8 inches wide by approximately 70 inches long, give or take. i printed it out on the hp z3100 on hp heavyweight coated paper and it rocked. one test print, one final print, the binding went well.
michael trovela gave me some insight as to efficient ways of binding this (and also some bookcloth!). Originally i wanted to use either dowels or cardboard tubes, in the end i ended up going with his suggestion of bookbinder's board wrapped with bookcloth. I then scored the board into seven sections to create two hexagon handles (one flap goes inside).
The two handles go on opposite ends and then get sandwiched over the scroll with duotack on one side and pva glue on the other. The end result reads like a torah or any other similarly styled scroll, which, despite being a bit clunky, is really fun to read and feels really exciting in your hands. yay!
