Bookbinding

[luzula]

I visited an artist friend of mine a while ago; she lives in an artist's residence where previously lived a guy who made marbled papers for bookbinding. He was a supplier for one of Sweden's largest publishers (I don't know how long ago this was). Anyway, she had lots of these marbled papers lying around and gave me a bunch of them. They're so lovely!

Here is a new book I made using one of the papers.

It is a collection of Flight of the Heron fic written up until this fall. Now I can reread these stories in book form! \o/ And as new stories are being written, I suppose I’ll be able to make another book eventually... : )

That is beautiful! The "sage" color* spine matches the marble scheme. (is that color also "sage" in Swedish?)

* see also my journal style :)

Thanks! This bookcloth color is indeed named "sage" at the place where I bought it. : ) The plant sage is called salvia in Swedish, but we don't use that as a color name. The leaves of the plant do really have that color, though!

We call it salvia in Italian too. Now I wonder if it's Latin, originally. Will look it up.
