fine book binding
"The Art of Bookbinding" from CBS News
Watch CBS Videos Online
i say WOW.... and i also say PHEW, i don't gotta bind books in that way, cuz it's way too tedious for me! (and i'm no where near that kind of skill level!!!) ...now, i love well-bound books, but mostly as journals, or rebound-bibles... for durability and use, not so much beauty. (but i realize those books in the video are probably extremely durable and archival...)
one thing i *am* somewhat interested in doing is covering some journals with some original pen&ink drawings.... truly one of a kind. as with most artists, i think, ugh, MY drawings?! eww!!!.... but i know most people seem to like them, and what can i say, i'm biased.... against myself (as many artists are, sad to say... but that's probably better than a proud artist, no?) lol
