161 - Multicolor Coptic Binding with Windows & Insets

[back to quicklinks]
$ 140 Plus $10 materials fee  

 

Transparent  windows, photo inserts and lined insets add a new dimension to this already  impressive book. The multicolor double Coptic binding provides a sturdy spine and compliments the alchemy of ink and paper that transforms text paper to create the cover paper. While I will be providing some transparent images for you to use, the windows and insets can be customized to hold many different  items, like: pressed leaves and flowers, feathers, almost anything flattish. I will also be providing Scrabble tiles that can be used for short words in the lined inset.  This class will open up a  world of ideas to use for many books to come. If you have any questions you may contact me at:(mailto:thphantom@aol.com) and please visit my blog at  (http://www.phantomwhispers.typepad.com)  Web: http://www.dorisarndt.com
