Discouraged
Yeah well, I'm feeling a little discouraged about the whole shop thing because none of my books are turning out well. The second one, which I posted about in my second blog entry here, is the most perfect, but the corners have ripped cloth, because I cut the cloth too near to the corners. The third one I made: it was a little bigger than the rest, less pages and had a brown fruitty fabric cover, was fine too, but I didn't align the signatures properly so it ended up too close to the edge on one side and too far from the edge on another side.
I just made a duplicate of the second one, turned out swell, but it took me longer to do than usual. I should have cut Vs near the spine, but I didn't. And I shouldn't have pasted such a small piece of black cloth to the signatures. It won't open properly now :( I guess I'll give them away as gifts ;)
You don't have to understand this. I just want to jot it down so I remember which method to use. The next book I've designed is a little black book with a red ribbon with white polka dots. Hopefully that will be my first sales item.
Christmas is tomorrow. I have no tree and no turkey. My brother's having some friends over for a pot-luck party and I'm not sure if I'm joining them or going out to eat.
My pc's hardrive is dead. I'll have to buy another one. In the meantime, I'm using my brother's pc. Swell, just swell.
Ah yes and I have been studying! Go me ;)
