Hard Backed Books

A few weeks ago I completed a hard backed book course at Hot Bed Press. Its the first book binding course that I have done and I loved it. I had previously done a Portfolio box making course at Hot bed press and I throughly enjoyed that as well. Both courses are taught by the talented Lucy May Schofield who is brilliant teacher. Its lovely to spend the weekend with a group of ladies learning a new skill (and eating biscuits) and I will most definintley be doing more book binding courses at Hot Bed Press when they next come up.

So here are pictures of what I created. This is my hard backed book, its GORGEOUS. Metallic purple buckram with a stunning iridescent hand made paper from Liberty end papers.

I have since made some pamphlet notebooks with my prints which I am now selling through my Etsy and Folksy shop. Each has a bright contrasting belly band and end papers.
