Handmade polymer clay book. I created this after being inspired by a Lee Bontecou retrospective. The covers are polymer clay. The text block is natural Brockway thick paper, and is coptic bound.

The wooden tools pictured here were beautifully made by hand by master woodworker Frank Weisner in Australia. I have waited a few months to get them, but they are certainly worth the wait. To give an idea of scale, the sewing frame in the center is only 7 inches wide. The most coveted tool is the lying press and plow on the left, which is used to trim the edges of the book block before the covers are added. The standing press will come in handy to apply the initial pressure necessary after glueing the covers. The other tools on the right are a corner rounder which is not much used in miniature bookmaking (it was sitting on the shelf so whatthehell), and lastly my Schärff-Fix leather skiver which is a must have tool for leather binding.
Further experimentation with Japanese Stab Binding patterns. Each binding in this set is progressively complex. At the same time, the color of each binding moves through the spectrum from red to violet.
Homage to Audubon merges the elements of a clamshell box, Cornell-style collection structure and traditional Coptic binding in a documentation of birds of Chicago.
The covers of the book are fabricated with polymer clay and found objects
The text block has been sewn together and the spine glued up -- it is hiding under that pile of textbooks. My kingdom for a book-press...
And then Tabitha comes over and twitches her little nose and the screenprints magically turn into beautiful day books which you can purchase here !
coptic bound book structure:
The book is 2.4m long (or 8ft for all you imperialists!) and I used almost 100m of waxed linen thread to bind the un-counted sections together - each section in the book is a single page from Colliers encyclopaedias that has been folded and cut down into 16 leaves - the work contains approx 5-6 volumes from the set of encyclopaedias
here the piece is arranged as a spiral

My Intermediate Bookbinding class last fall made beautiful long stitch books with cotton filler paper and a fun collage of paper from my studio on the covers.
Everyone did a great job! I'm teaching more classes this spring, check out my blog for more info.

I have always wanted to learn proper bookbinding so I have taken a great course with CBBAG . Now I want to take my own handmade paper from my paper making past, put my photos on my sheets and bind them into my own books. Getting closer. With this training I am now ready to roll!
Instead of my regular Strathmore hardbound sketchbook, I’ve been working in a different sketchbook for my Coronavirus Self-Portrait series. My mother-in-law gave me this beautiful sketchbook in 1983. I was going to use it only for self-portraits. I did seven self-portraits from 1983 to 1987 and then never drew in it again. It is nice to open it and fill its pages. It has an interesting story and since it was based on something French, I suppose it makes more sense to draw in it here in Paris than in Brooklyn:
THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART (New York)
ART DECO BOOKBINDING
French, 20th Century
This Art Deco bookbinding was adapted from a book in the Museum’s collection. The original was designed by Pierre Legrain (1889-1929) for Paul Valéry’s “L’ame et la danse,” published in Paris by Javal et Boudeaux in February 1926. Legrain designed unique handmade inlaid and tooled bookbindings in Paris durning the early part of the twentieth century. He was also known for his innovative decorative art designs. The original book was bound in brown Levant leather and inlaid with black and neutral Moroccan leather. The brown, gold, and platinum lines were hand tooled.
Our adaption is facsimile size. It is bound in simulated leather and has been stamped five times, once for each color. The book has 128 blank pages and is made of cream white, vellum-finished, acid-free paper. The book is suitable for writing or sketching.
The single application has now dried, with the effect of consolidating the folded Folios which form the Spine of the book's Text Block. The consistency is somewhat like Treacle and dries to a brittle state. This particular adhesive was used on this 300+ year old volume, as it replicates the glue of the period.
A friend asked me if I could repair her dad's recipe book. It came minus the spine and all the pages were loose! It turned out to be exactly the same make of book as I had repaired for my wife on my first bookbinding course at West Dean College back in 2017.
At least my friend's dad can use his recipe book again.
In the eternal quest to make my miniature bookbinding more efficient, I scrounged some wood from our local craft/hobby chain store and spent part of the evening making a miniature signature punching cradle. The face of each side of the cradle is approximately 3 1/2" x 2", and the base is about 4" square. It still amazes me that so many of the kinds of hand tools used for bookbinding in medieval times are still in use today.
