cebI've been making books. Would anyone like one? This particular set are... learning exercises. I'm quite pleased with them, they're functional and nice notebooks, but they're not up to standard for selling or exhibiting. Flaws (which may well not bother you) are: endpapers are a bit lumpy, the pages are not always nicely aligned with the covers (the green one is worst), I've not quite got the hang of marbled edges so there's a tiny bit staining to the edges of pages and there are some grey smudges in the marbled patterns. (Some pages may also be stuck together but you should be able to gently pull them apart.)
The blue one's already spoken for. Would anyone like one of the others? Free to a good home; I'm happy to post if you paypal me the postage cost.
ETA: All gone!

Date: 2019-11-22 12:57 pm (UTC)I have been doing more marbling, so there will be more. These were done with inks but I've since been on a course that used gouache and oh, the colours! I am in love with white gouache marbled on dark paper.

BTW, when I've caught up on my weaving backlog, if you'd like a hand-woven belt of any kind, just ask.

Not sure I have any teal at present, but I've certainly got purple, and might have a blue with a bit of a sheen to it.

How narrow is fairly narrow?
1cm, 2cm?
