this one will be brief

Yesterday and today were whirlwind days and I am exhausted.  I spent approximately 12 hours scanning, designing, writing, printing, folding, and binding a book about my trip to Ghana for the International Exhibition.  Speed bookbinding yet again!  My emotional attachment to the content kept me motivated the entire time.  (I think I may be onto something...)  Here's a photo of the book, plus a sampling of a few random pages.  The covers are made with wax print Ghanaian fabric and the binding is an exposed-spine coptic stitch.















      










































I also prepped the materials for the bookbinding workshop at DCS high school this Thursday.  We're doing Japanese Stab Binding.  More on that later!

Now it's time for sleep.
