Ep. 325: Is This Garbage? Or just Fantasy?

Bookbinding

I have experimented with collage for a few weeks now and decided to make a collage cover. Expect to see more collage covers in the future.
It was also time to practice making French link stitch binding so I combined the two in a blank, 100-page B6-sized notebook.  

The book boards are recycled files destined for the garbage pit. The covers are a recycle kite and left over bits from another book.The endpapers are recycle pieces that lived in my To Be Used Someday pile for the last decade or more.

Fiction

I've been working on two things. One has been in production for ten years. But not consistently. Caraculiambro. I’m re-reading it to catch up to speed on the plot and characters. Hopefully. I’ll be writing and/or editing it soon. Two, Zuihitsu continues to converge to a (happy?) ending. At least to an ending, although I suspect there might be violence.

TDGB 69: French Link Stitch II. A recycled collage cover; the first of a few collage covers. With 100 blank pages and the French link stitch. The first books using French link stitches; more coming, I suspect. With even a tutorial coming soon. I hope.
