The small lime green book is what most people would picture when the word "book" is mentioned. As you can see from this photo, I need to work on aligning my signatures (book sections) when making this sort of book.
For the stab binding variation book, I selected some of my own marbled paper for edging the covers.
One of the most fun things for me about making books is selecting the papers for the covers and inside plates. I love working with all the colors and patterns available.

Beautiful, Vicki!! I love your new books!! You made amazing marbled paper.... It's great to see you using some of it here!!
I have that dark brown/gold leaf paper, too... I love using it! Are you keeping a journal for your bookmaking now? ;-) I still use our collaborative notes on coptic, you know?
I didn't want to use any of that marbled paper for the longest time. Once I saw that it was getting dusty, I decided to start using it. I can't believe how much I have, just from that one day of marbling!
When I decide to do a coptic binding, I always use our notes. We did good!
They are lovely, Vicki. Your talents are boundless.
