This is what I have been working on. This is yesterdays page and it took a few days of labour before I got to the drawing bit.
This is the last page of my current hand bound sketchbook- Strathmore 500 series Aquarius II watercolour paper. The one I bound this morning is hardcover!!
I’m cheating using the beading cord because the thread isn’t readily available for me. And of course I use duct tape on the spine to hide my threads (pamphlet stitch) or in this case waxed cord.
I was happy to find the magnetic sheet I needed to pop into this business card holder. I sprayed painted the inside lid with enamel in the hopes it will work as a mini mixing surface. I don’t do much paint mixing when I carry these little travel palettes. So.... the reason why I like to carry different colours; I like options without mixing.
