Shrigley binding
Have been thinking about bookmaking quite a bit lately........was browsing around online yesterday and came across something called "shrigley binding". It looked interesting especially as you can remove sections from the pages to work on them and then put them back. After searching around some more I couldn't find any instructions apart from a Youtube videa that I couldn't get to play so after studying the pics I found I think I have figured it out! If I haven't got it exactly right I think I'm pretty close.
the edges are folded over and then the corners are folded to give these sections that the loose page slots into
on the back of the same piece slits are cut in the corners to hold the loose page on this side
I made 4 pieces so that gives 8 loose pages that can be removed and decorated
these pages are now going to be sown onto this accordion folded spine and then covers will be added.............not got that far yet!
