My talented artist
friend, Pat, is always surprising people with her hand-crafted gifts.
Recently I was lucky enough to receive another of her handmade
watercolour sketchbooks – a prototype for a new method of glued binding
she was trying out. On this occasion she had not added a cover so
that I would get some idea of how it was put together. I liked the
soft-bound quality of the book, but to ensure it didn't begin to look
grubby with constant handling I covered it with some of my hand
printed paper and added an elastic closure with a loop to hold a
small pencil.
