Buckram



Thread to match

I have now decided on what colours I am using for the covers of my books. I have decided to stick with the green buckram that I have used on my practice books but then contrast this with a blood red colour. I thought both were classic colours and had a very British feeling, which is a bit of an abstract feeling but I guess short of going for white and red or blue, white and red they were colours that worked for me. I still haven't decided what colour is going to be used for what book, I think I will just let that be a unconscious decision when it comes to binding both books. I also managed to find thread to match both colours so I think i will try to make so that the thread is a bit more discreet, as on Japanese binding the thread is left exposed.
