#DecoratedPaper

[bigriverbindery]

We’re slowly sorting out the paper and shelving similar materials together. Unpacking is taking a while, but we are making progress. One way or another, we’ll be ready for the open house on Saturday. #bookbinding #letterpress #bookarts #lotsofpaper #japanesepaper #decoratedpaper #handmadepaper #somuchpaper (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvHxMRuNPf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's just another #MarbledMonday, woah, woah...

This swirly French Curl is one of seven specimens bound into James Nicholson's 1856 edition of A Manual of the Art of Bookbinding, and is making our Monday a little less manic.

If cut paper is stacking up, it must be time to send out material kits. Students in our classes can purchase curated and cut packs of the materials to use. You can leave the cutting to us and get right to making. #bookarts #cutpaper #bookartsworkshop #bookbinding #decoratedpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/CJq0UQdJ8TJ/?igshid=1qiwodezx27cj

I put the blank paper in the pockets so you can see the pockets. 3 is the out side, which when folded, the book has a paper covered board stiff back.

We’re rolling, wrapping, and boxing all the paper in the shop to move it north. I thought I might have a problem with collecting paper, then realized I have a problem with moving. #paper #paperhorder #japanesepaper #decoratedpaper #pilesofpaper #donthaveaproblem (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8gmnkM_Wb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

End of the year always feels a bit like a blur, right?

This whirlwind of #endoftheweekendpapers is from a sample book of paste papers produced by Bird & Bull Press. TGIF!

"I don't care if Monday's blue..."

Actually, we do care, especially when it comes to this brilliant blue marbled binding and complimentary blue marbled endpapers! (Not pictured: blue sprinkled edges and a blue silk bookmark. Swoon!)

This style of leather marbling is known as Valencia marbling, a variation of Spanish marbling known for its bright, vibrant colors.

This week’s almanac is actually the same edition as the one we shared last week, but the owner of this one (Naomi McClenachan) chose not to have it rebound, instead keeping the original decorated paper wrappers. A good choice, we think.

Bailey’s Pocket Almanac. Philadelphia: Francis Bailey, [1786].

We are loving the dentelles surrounding these bright and shimmery #endoftheweekendpapers, found in a binding by the Brooklyn bindery Frank J. Herzog & Co. The volume, an 1836 edition of the Charter of the City of New-York, was bound by Herzog for Dr. George R. Brush in February of 1888. Luckily, Dr. Brush saved the receipt, which not only identifies the binder, but also shows that he paid $3.00 for the binding - full red morocco, with the top edge gilt.

A happy, albeit rainy, #MarbledMonday to you! We love the soft colors on this one, and that subtle blue staining to the leather on the spine.
