book making process / part 3 of 3

Part 3! All of the content is ready to assemble now. The lighting is weird in some of these photos because I was working at night and in the morning.

 

 

 

 

Almost there. Final pictures of the completed books in the next post. If you are interested in making your own books, I referenced BOOK CRAFT by Heather Weston. It's a helpful book with lots of photos.

Here is part 2 of the bookmaking process. This is where the real fun begins because it involves the writing and illustrating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Completed the pages by spraying them with Crystal Clear, so the drawings don't rub off on each other while the book is folded. Onto the actual book construction in Part 3.

I made three handmade books for Zeus Jones, for one of their clients. Not including concepting time, the books took a little over three weeks to complete. I wrote the stories, illustrated them, and bound them into concertina books. This is part 1 of the process.

 

 

The bones of the book are ready. Part 2 coming next week.
