Finalised book

for the finalised book I bounded it on a adhesive leather like paper covering green to match the rest of the work and I bounded it using a yellow thread

after the paper was printed I needed to remove the guide lines around them and ensure they were all the same size before I could move forward with the bounding process, this required a ruler and sharp knife. I lightly guided the knife across the paper and cut through marks on the guides that would have been cut off once I cut on side of the page

after cutting the paper the book was ready to be bounded I started by taking my covering material and bounding it to a piece of green card to fit the colours in the book.

book bounded and ready for showcase

after the cover was bounded onto the paper I went forward with using a green thread and bounded the book together in the Japanese stab bounding method. I have yet to decide on the leaves if they are required or not
