The Book of Drawings. Final assembly



The final step in making my book is to attach the page block to the cover. I have now made my inlays so this step will be fairly simple. I used pva glue to attach the marbled inlays to the page block. When it was drying I used heavy books to flatten the page. When they were dry I then attached them to the cover using the same technique. After it was dry it provided a solid hold to the book. The only concern I have is that the pages don’t fit in the book case because of the flock I used down the spine. I don’t mind this as it just makes the book look more worn and adds to the effect of being soaked.
