Book Covers Ready to be Glazed!

Here are some book covers I have been working on. I just need to glaze, fire and ship to Jessica to be bound into beautiful books!

Ceramic Book Part II

I completed our second ceramic book this week. This time, I bound it with a more finished look than

the last one. I also tried out some marbled end papers that were actually glued to the cover. I like

how this one turned out, and I'm more and more pleased with the project with each

book that I finish.

Ceramic Book

Sarah and I decided to do a joint project that highlighted both of our crafts. Sarah created

some Ceramic Book Covers and mailed them to me to bind. This week I completed the

first of these "ceramic books." 

I used good quality art paper, and each signature is surrounded by some rustic textured paper.

The book is a little heavy, but I envision it as an art piece in a nice library, or sitting on a large

desk with a fancy pen for jotting down all sorts of important things. 

I'm looking forward to binding the rest of our ceramic books.

Ceramic Book Covers

Jessica and I decided to do a group project. I made ceramic book covers.

First, I rolled out a slab of clay. Next, I picked which stamps I wanted for the front and back of the cover.

I decided to do the same stamps on the front and back. Next, the flat rectangle pieces were fired in the kiln.

Lastly, I picked glazes that I felt best matched the design on the clay. Now it is Jessica's turn to see if she can bind some paper in between the covers. The books might be super heavy but it is a experiment we are willing to try. Can't wait to see how they turn out Jessica. They are in the mail.

Enjoy!
