And Then There Were... a miniature counting book that I illustrated and bound by hand. The book is 5 1/2 x 3 inches, and features the extinct Passenger Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, Heath Hen, Eskimo Curlew, Labrador Duck, Great Auk, Dusky Seaside Sparrow, Bachman's Warbler, Ivory Billed Woodpecker, and Kauai ʻōʻō. Illustrated in traditional pen & ink and watercolor. Like Grasping at Feathers, this book also includes cut-out elements. The concertina-style pages fold out to form one continuous spread. Created as an edition of 5, but I have plans to do another larger run.

I’m always searching this picture with my students and never finding it. Now that I got it I’m gonna keep it safe here.
It says (according to Google translate):
« trajectory of hammer blows » and « hammer head positions »

With a love of book binding, I decided to make a tome dedicated to my students to mark their spot in the annual record of time. (It's a yearbook replacement to keep all of my student's signatures at the end of each school year).

SQUARES: A THESIS
What are squares? And where are they in a book? Why are they called squares and how did they even come into existence? I am about to embark on a journey to learn and discover about the mystery of squares. Book squares is the research topic for my Masters programme thesis which will take me down the road through the history of bookbinding, the evolution of squares and what problems do they cause? Yes, I am so square, I can't help it.

Rounding and Backing. This is my next step in the bookbinding process. First I glue up the spine and let it dry slightly. Then I begin rounding the spine gently, with my fingers, manipulating the spine into a convex shape. The purpose is to create a seamless form, allowing the book to flow smoothly from the front cover, to the spine, then to the back cover. Running one’s finger along the outside covers and spine of a well-formed book should be a smooth journey and encounter no bumps or impediments along the way! The final stage here is backing. I place the book in a finishing press and hammer the spine into its final rounded form, then let it dry under weight. #donwidmerpaperarts #bookbinding #finebinding #roundingandbacking #bookarts https://www.instagram.com/p/CrL8H4prH1G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

View on unicolor headcap and endband works on my latest binding « Les frôlements infinis du monde » by Richard Rognet (« The world’s infinite light touches » i guess)
On the edges of the book, you can also see the border between outside leather (greyish) and the inside leather (white).
God I need some vocabulary.

Some Vampire the Masquerade Ankh notebooks/ sketchbooks I finished today. I was working on these the same time I was working on the blades in the dark deep cuts binding I posted yesterday. Hence, the design similarity.
Originally planned to make these before Christmas in time for a board game night where I was going to give these away as prizes for winning. However I never got them done in time.
Now I'm giving one of them to a friend as a belated Christmas present and the other I have no plans for, probably gonna end up a prize again. Gives me an excuse to plan a day for a big board game.

* Today I'm working on two little books, trying to decide which I will send to a collector who is a dear friend of mine. It's a lovely day to sit outside and stitch, There's no rain predicted until Wednesday and Thursday so I'm enjoying the sunshine. I hope you're enjoying the weekend doing what you love too! * * * #instinctualstitching #instinctuallystitched #instinctualstitch #intuitivestitch #paintedfabric #handmadebooks #littlebookmaking #littlebooks #lilbooks #mixedmedia #artbook #artistbooks #textileart #textileartist #fiberarts #fiberartist #artistbook #bookarts #bookart #bookmaker #mixedmediaart #handstitched #littlebooks #creativebookmaking #handstitching #artbooks #handmadejournals #perfectionnotion #socalartist #beatrizhelton # https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOxt83O3hx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
