Lovely piece of work!

 

Thank you very much for your kind words!!

 

Is that creme-colored paper?

 

Actually, he asked for half of the journal white and the other half creme. I don't remember for sure, but I think this is the white part... The camera makes it seem not so white, but I think it is the white Tomoe River.

Some pictures of something I worked on last month. I will post the final pictures as soon as I can :).

This was a Coptic journal, where the back cover was made with blue leather and the front cover using paste paper that I had previously made.

Looking GREAT!!

 

BTW for those of you interested, I will bring my red journal and a sample journal to the LA Pen show AND GatzBCNs card and catalogue for those you who want to see it before you order.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I showed off Gatz' work to Pen World Magazine and let them borrow a book. Look for Gatz to be in the next issue of Pen World.

Today I will show a very special project I worked on for the last month. It as big - very big. The size of the page was A4. The style was Springback and, since the owner wanted the pages to open 180º flat, I added escartivanas. These are the addendum you see close to the spine.

I will upload the images of the work finished very soon :).

 

This was the textblock sewed.

It was pretty thick already.

Working on the spine and first cover...

Second cover and spine. You can see very well the escartivanas here. Also, I usually wrap the text block in draft paper after past experiences were stains of paste appeared on the text block :P.

And the third, thick and last cover finally on.

Hope you enjoyed! See you back soon!! (Hopefully hehe).

Looking jaws under the table. Which paper are you using? I presume is A3. Could you post a photo with the book open? The binding with escartivanas I know once open does not lie flat.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
