an experiment...



this is an experimental binding, done primarily as an excuse to try out the headbands ( coptic ), which i had not done before...
this book has in- strap sewing, and the straps are recessed into the covers, as is the clasp. this took a bit of planning, but i'm really happy with the result. the marbled paper is by joan ajala, who does stunning work. the photography does not really do the colors justice... damn you, strange afternoon light...
