Description
This album has a lovely rich feel to it because I used gold ink and silver ink, as well as a few pinches of salt in the development process. I used Hahnemuhle Buggra Bütten paper to create both cover prints.
The inside covers are made using handmade tea Mitsumata paper from the Himalayan foothills of Nepal. Mitsumata plants are a sustainable and renewable resource. The book is stitched together with royal blue Irish Linen waxed 4-ply thread.
I used Coptic stitching to bind the book together. Coptic binding means that the book will lie completely flat when opened, which makes it perfect as a photograph album, and also for journaling or sketching.
The pages of this book were created using recycled A2 White Craft Card at a nice heavy weight of 220gsm, which makes it perfect for photograph albums. It would also work wonderfully well as an artist’s sketchbook … you can stick lots of great craft materials on this card for a beautiful finish. As it’s 100% recycled it has a slight texture to it which is great for crayons, pastel and paint work.
The grey-board used for the covers is also, wherever possible, made from recycled materials.
This book is unique and made entirely by hand.
