A couple of displacement activities this week – new arrivals in the paper department (from GF Smith) and collating all my linocut blocks and remaining prints of the last 18 months. This led to a rather pleasing reminder that I’ve created quite a few prints, and that in turn led me to look at the shelves and try and assess the number of different binding (styles) I’ve done.
- Pamphlet binding
- Flatback multi-section
- Multi-section case
- Bradel
- Disappearing spine Bradel (Cockram)
- Library style (English)
- Library style (Tarrico)
- Jean de Gonet (Tarrico)
- Crown / Star (Kyle)
- Drum
- Longstitch
- Japanese (variation)
- Crisscross / Belgian
- Shrigley (Elbel)
- Onion (Elbel)
Which was another pleasant surprise, although I think I’m only competent at perhaps three of these (and some I’ve only done once).
The point really is that I haven’t been doing a great job of documenting my progress in any formal sense, and perhaps posting will encourage me to be a bit more ‘formal’ about it. We shall see.
