The Silver Rose Bindery

My daughter attended kindergarten at a Catholic school.  When the time came for end of year presents for her teachers, she suggested I make books for them.  I immediately agreed, and started looking through fabric stores.  Because fabric with the right pattern matching the Catholic school's uniforms is difficult to obtain, I sacrificed one of her jumpers to the cause.  Purple ribbon bookmarks completed the look, as purple is her favorite color.

A Spiderman-themed journal for a big fan.  I was originally going to try and get some red and blue lycra to mimic the costume better, but decided a simple cotton cloth would be easier to work with and to attach to the boards.  The webbing is done using 1/8" satin cord sewn onto the fabric before gluing it down.

I have, on occasion, taken commissions to bind specific types of books.  Some of these have been blank journals with certain types of covers, others have been items such as wedding guest books.
