books – Page 3 – Saint Beckett

A bit bound up.

I bought text block sheets of the “Bookbinder of Jericho.” The paper wasn’t the best, so I just did a basic case bound. But I made my own cover and endpapers.

I suppose I should read it now.

I almost forgot. Last weekend to see this exhibition in Canberra

I bound a book for an exhibition which is the reprinted text of a letter sent by Nicolas Baudin to the New South Wales Govenor saying that the land is actually inhabited. But they didn’t listen.

The exhibit us at the Sutton Village Gallery just outside Canberra, before coming to Sydney later in the year.

51 Camp Street, Sutton.

Making a little test book…..

…..as I agreed to enter a book binding thing of binding a text block based on a letter by Nicolas Baudin disputing Captain Cook’s findings of Terra Nullius.

I’m trying some things out as I’ve made my own cords that I want visible on the inside of the book, and parts of the outside. Not sure how I feel about them on the outside yet. Glad I’ve done a dummy run.

Not sure how I feel about the raised thread on the image.

The Otley Butterfly – new edition.

Elizabeth JM Walker my Canadian zine and book collaborating friend, has updated and published the story about her grandmother who was a nurse to POW’s in World War 2. I was lucky to get to illustrate it. It’s a story of the ordinary people who are caught up in the decisions of others. Unfortunately, it is still relevant. We did forget.
