About 10 years ago I started takeing them apart and examining thier innards.
I am self taught and do absorb a tutorial here and there to broaden my skills.
I like to take concepts and techniques and alter them to cater to my needs.
I also wrote a fantasy novel some years back and wanted to bind it myself. I promised myself that I would do this once I felt I was skilled enough to create what I have floating around in my head. I still feel that I am not quite there yet. One day.
Cheers
Also: What kind of glue do you use? I have seen glue based on rice starch being used and I wonder what the advantages are of specific types of glue
do you have a preference for certain materials?(cord, leather etc.)
And if it's not rude to ask: how do you embellish the more complicated shapes? Do you make a cardboard shape and use a soft brush to get the leather to shape around it?
If it's too much to ask, I'm sorry ^^ I had a book-binding class at the art academy I used to attend, but I always wanted to be able to be more creative with it, I had concepts like these sketched out but never knew exactly how to realize them
also: I'm sorry for the typo's, I'm not a native speaker ^^U
