Making Bookcloth; Filling with Media // Adventures in Bookbinding

This video demonstrates how to turn fabric into #bookcloth by filling with various media. Three types of media will be demonstrated, starch paste, methyl cellulose, and a mix of paste and acrylic medium.

I forgot to say something about the cloth I was making at the start of the video. This piece of cloth was a cyanotype I made using an x-ray of my hand. It was done on thin white cotton. The cotton is not completely opaque so I wanted a white backing on it. It was also very light so I figured backing it with paper had two benefits. But I also wanted a protective coating on the surface, so I then coated it in a 50/50 mix of paste and acrylic medium.

The #DASBookbinding Channel is the perfect starting point for learning #bookbinding. It covers foundation skills, simple projects, technical methods, materials and more advanced bookbinding projects. The videos are presented in a tutorial or lesson fashion, which I hope are easy to follow. The knowledge presented is based on traditional techniques which can be used to create traditional books or as a foundation to quality journalling or creative artists' books.
