I am sorry you were burdened with ill health for such a long time, it's great to know that you are now feeling better. And this book is a joy for the eyes. Your books -and Fiona's- always are but the b&w effect here is like a tap dance. (I wonder if this makes sense...) Keep well, Susan!

As you say, plenty of possibilities in design and pattern. I think Fiona's photos shoed those possibilities more clearly.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-82948533048940337642013-05-01T15:40:35.404+10:002013-05-01T15:40:35.404+10:00No - no binding here!

Mine are dramatic but I do think your photos allow the subtle details of our work to be more apparent and interesting. Love the way you showed so many options of display. Actually love this little project xsusan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-13670039899931914892013-05-01T15:38:30.775+10:002013-05-01T15:38:30.775+10:00Sorry it has taken me this long to reply Charlton ...Sorry it has taken me this long to reply Charlton ... so pleased you have followed and enjoyed this collaboration. Yes - an unbound book is a marvellous thing. One of my favourite forms of bookmaking as I love the opportunity of telling and retelling a story. It would have been a marvellous way to work you recent sketchbook project. No doubt though you will apply the idea in the next little while.<br />The Paper Fiona and I used for this project is a Manyani paper - a little over 600gsm. Very thick and stiff but lovely to work on. Perfect for this kind of project.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-78372167516941749032013-04-29T03:23:46.926+10:002013-04-29T03:23:46.926+10:00These are intriguing.

I felt a need for that during my recent sketchbook project but didn't quite have the courage! <br /><br />How did you reinforce the pages?
