Newest Sketchbook Tour - Collagraph Covers, Single Page Coptic Stitch Binding
Kids are cleaning house for Mother’s Day so kicked back for a moment to film a an overdue tour of the latest collagraph cover sketchbook. Combo of two of my fave art processes… collagraph printmaking and bookbinding.
Intaglio collagraph prints and a mix of heavy rag drawing and mixed media paper sewn with single-page coptic binding. 12 needles at one time was an adventure to keep track of. 😂 Needing to let go of the idea that it’s “precious” and begin to use it 😄

Sewing a Millipede Stitch
Просмотров 1872 года назад
Sewing a section of the half-hitch millipede stitch. 😄 Will make a tutorial when I have time, but the idea is just to wrap the sections with half hitches before going into the next section of holes. I like this stitch better than the centipede version where threads are just wrapped because the knots seem to make it more sturdy. Excellent written tutorial with photos at: bookweb.sunpig.com/tech/...

It’s just shadows and light. 🤔 Staying in the habit of drawing with Value and practicing with our first pineapple EVER!

Step by Step Collagraph Bookcover - journey of printmaking into bookbinding
Просмотров 5783 года назад
The journey of my sister’s art journal book covers! Out of a very thick back to a canvas pad I’d saved for a few years - never toss these out!!! Carving and peeling layers, then sealing the “fluff” with watered down PVA glue then adding watered down gesso for grisaille and flexible modeling paste for texture.

Test Run of My Mutt Stitch... and the verdict is???
Просмотров 2103 года назад
4 holes work much better than 6 and each signature needs more pages to show off the “X.” In the hopes of having lots of sewing practice by limiting pages in the signatures, but didn’t consider it would hide that “X.” Will be attempting again! Was determined to try 6 holes since I had a practice book block and covers already prepped... live and learn! I still like the stitch and will be attempti...
