The Case-bound book

Hey Everyone,
the next workshop is due to be scheduled for the first weekend of March.
Its going to be Traditional book-binding - The Hardbound/Case-bound book.
The pre-requisite for this workshop is Book-binding-I.
If any of you are interested, please contact me!
Book-binding-I will be repeating hopefully towards the end of the month, if there are enough interested parties!

In production!

Here are some of the books I've been working on these weeks for People Tree.

The bamboo impression books still need their closures!

Cook-book

This is a cook-book I made for a friend who wanted alot of Indian food recipes. I found this paper at Khadi Gram Udyog in CP, and I suppose this was the perfect use for it!

Another custom-made book

This coptic bound journal has been made for Anusha Lall. The cover has been made using a paper from the bark of a shrub called Daphne. It has been made in the ancient papermaking tradition of the Himalayan Region and has been individually dyed in vibrant colours in the ethnic shibori style, which lends each paper its uniqueness.
The endpapers have been torn out of sheet of thicker 'Rice Paper'.
Its a large size at 5" by 7.25" approx.
