All talk, no binding

Not a lot happening!
Because I somehow misjudged the amount of green and white sugar paper I had left I think I will try something different with them, which is why they are folded down; that leaves 1 sheet of white, 2 of blue, and 4 of pink, which I think I will make a little A6 sized...something!...from; plus 16 sheets of (relatively) A5 cartridge paper, which I will turn into one bigger sketch book. Maybe. If I ever get started :p

Final tally for the day: 4 small sketch book blocks, 1 big kids book block.

The kiddies book is alternate pink and white sugar paper sheets, and hopefully I will do the same with blue and white sheets, just to cover my bases!

(Really, is it just me who finds those stacked sheets beautiful?! I'm sure it's normal...right?!)

Next: to get them covered...

Cutting the Paper

Less sunshine, one bone folder, one quite-blunt kitchen knife (the cheap man's cobbler's knife), and 3 hours later - and all my paper has been folded and cut.



All the sugar-paper is in A4 size, because I will probably use it for kiddies books. I had intended that the cartridge paper be A6 size, (i.e. a quarter of an A4 sheet) for small cute note-books; but turns out the cartridge paper wasn't quite the A1 I'd expected, so all my folding and cutting will produce even smaller books than I'd intended!


So until I know if they will also be 'cuter', I only cut the final 2 of the 4 big sheets to A5 size (i.e. half an A4, or its equivalent).


But I'm hopeful - you can't see it in that picture I don't think, but it's actually really nice quality. If I can find a hammer sometime in the next day I may know by tomorrow what kind of final product they will make :)
