I have yet to take on a piece like this, it's amazing.<BR/>Second- I am going to go from window to window + hopefully will answer your questions. As for the book covers- it depends on the fabric I am using if I use plain book cloth for the spine or cover the entire book in the cover fabric. I find that some people prefer the book cloth spine, it's so much more traditional. Usually if it's a more subdued pattern I'll use the book cloth. Then there are some fabrics (like the 40's Geisha fabric) that would be almost ruined if I did not incorporate the great design elements into the spine.<BR/>My professor used "Cover to Cover" by Shereen LaPlantz as our text. I happen to really like this book, but my book group cannot agree on that one book to start off with. If you get this book, her website has a downloadable "corrections" section I have yet to print off, but it's about 80 pages, another entire book. <BR/>If you guessed the Human Fly print as the one I had to do in pieces, you are correct + a 2-color print is no big deal on a Vandercook. <BR/>I have gone back + read your older posts, I really enjoy your blog +hope you don’t mind that I added a link on my side bar. Love the homage to Amelie!<BR/>Any more questions, my e-mail is shona(at)laladexpress(dot)com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
