Our January workshop will be taught by our member from the UK, Margaret Beech. The book has "throw out pages" with a hard cover. Margaret says this is a simple structure, and because the pages are not sewn to the spine it allows you to decorate the inside of the spine and inner back and front covers for interest and impact.
There is no measuring for the pages, just accurate folding and cutting because we will be using regular 11" x 8 1/2" light cardstock.
Once you sign up for this workshop you will receive a materials and instruction sheet. Some items need to be prepared before the workshop. Margaret says this is a great structure with huge potential. The style suits visual content probably better than written because of the narrow width of the pages. Another bonus is that there is no measuring to make the pages for your book, simply accurate folding.
