I&#8217;ve been resisting bookmaking lately. How it happened: I got together with a few friends two weeks ago to paint papers. I made a black page and a white page. Just playing around with different paints and ways of applying them. I used mostly black and white, and some Golden acrylic &#8220;bronze.&#8221; The bronze exhibited trace edges of turquoise as it dried. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both pages seemed destined for a book. The black one was lightweight enough to wrap boards for a cover. And the white one was stiff enough to stand up as single sheets. The instructions in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.handmadebookclub.com\/products\/handmade-book-club\">Handmade Book Club<\/a> this month were for a lark&#8217;s head binding (also known as slip stitch?). A method to bind single sheets, which is what I had. So this project flowed together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I punched holes today and will start (and hopefully finish) stitching on Friday.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_4415.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_4415.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_4415-300x220.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Thread and cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_4414.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_4414.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_4414-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Inside cover and page 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m surprised that this book came together.
