I’ve been making the book cloth for the second book. This time I lino printed onto a sheer fabric and a plain cotton.

I need to sharpen my cutting tools – there was slip on the left side. I’ll be able to cover it up with the mask for the title block.

Fabrics bonded together and backed with mulberry paper and addition of title.

For the end papers I asked my husband and daughter to draw some more outlines for me to fill. I’d been experimenting with not using straight lines.

I then redid the cyantotype for the remake of volume I. Whilst I was waiting for it to develop, I scrunched a piece of fabric up and left it outside. I was pleasantly surprised by the result.
