The Book of the Week Project
Update 8.14.2014
I have decided to bring back this project! I made 52 books in 2010 & 52 books in 2011. I made one book in 2012 that I had to include with this group. While I'm making and creating the new ones, you'll see a renewed effort to get the older ones photographed and posted online.
At the beginning of 2010 I challenged myself to make a book every week. I self imposed a few rules, in no particular order.
- It couldn't be a simple blank journal or photo album, but had to have some content.
- I couldn't buy new materials with the exception of basics: printing ink, davey board, PVA. This project is not intended to excuse binge decorative paper shopping. This rule is not very difficult because I have paper, book cloth and other miscellaneous materials in large supply.
- Experiment with new book structures.
- No fussing around with graphic design programs. The layouts are done by making simple contact sheets in Bridge that become the basics for the internal structures.
- A new rule for 2014! Experiment with at least one new binding structure a month.
Although the books are complete, many do not have gallery sections at this time. I'll be adding them as quickly as possible
