I have been thinking….

….about what I can do with my collection of blank, loose, leftover sheets of Arches oil paper cut from larger sheets. I decided to bind them together into a book. It took several days of research to find an effective and simple method. The paper I have is quite thick, so folding the paper into signatures and binding was not an option. Additionally, I wanted the book to lay flat when I opened it, so that I had use of the entire page. I will likely use this book when painting outside of the studio. The video below is a glimpse into the making of the 2 books I recently created.
