folds and freezer paper
It's been a long time since I've made a book. Too long. But tonight that changed when I started on a small book for a collaborative project. I couldn't have been more pleased with the cutting and folding of paper, the assembly of flat into three dimensional form. 
I'll share more about this project in due time, but for now here's a little of the folds and the freshly freezer-paper-stenciled (yes, that's now a verb) book cloth. The colors are all funky since I haven't gotten around to making that light box just yet; but rest assured, they're good. Chartreuse and inky black-blue good.
And the leaves? They're traced from the vintage fabric that is still in the midst of metamorphosis from skirt to bag.
where do you buy freezer paper? i haven't been able to find any. (and why freezer paper stenciling and not the gocco? curious.)

What strange timing... tonight, I begin my first letterpress class and next week, I begin a bookbinding class. Just more inspiration for what I'm doing. :)
(I assume, of course, you've ventured into the lovely place that is the MN Ctr for the Book Arts?)
Can't wait to see what this project is!!

oh great! I'll have to keep visiting to learn more about this! Hand binding books is something I am especially intrigued with lately. I look forward to learning more.
