Gawayne has been one of my ( Read more... ) -

Soon, very soon...
Today, I finished a project I've worked on since school started - making a book of The Seventeenth Step by katieforsythe. Tomorrow I'm going to take some good photos of it en the schools studio, and also do a "making of"-post for anyone who's interested in bookbinding. In the meantime, here is the title print (before I cut it and pasted it on).
