About the final project for: Travel Logbook with French Link Bookbinding

Travel Logbook with French Link Bookbinding

“We have reached the end of the course. Thank you very much for your participation and your interest! I hope you have enjoyed it and that you apply everything you have learned to create your unique and personal travel logs. You can take my course project as a reference, but I encourage you to let yourself be creative, look for inspiration in books and keep experimenting even if you make a mistake. Mistakes are part of the process! Below I have summarized the essential steps to follow: Planning Plan your blog well, take into account the size, the type of paper, the inserts that you must sew, the colors you want and write down all the ideas.

The seam Begin by making the body of your blog using the French seam technique. Remember to be patient with the drying times of all the parts to obtain a better result when using the log.
The covers Prepare and line the cartons for the covers. Then, make the spine and join it to the covers, applying pressure so that it is well glued. Finally, join the body of the notebook and the cover.
The book archive Build your own collage file. Remember that there is creative material in your daily life and that it is enough to pay attention. Anything goes, just let yourself be guided by intuition and creativity.
The intervention of the blog Intervene your travel log and be as creative as possible. In the world of notebooks, all the worlds you can imagine fit: get inspired, paste, cut, draw, write. Make your travel log a free space to dream!
When your project is ready, share it on the forum by clicking on "Create your project". Do not forget to share both the final result and the phases of your work, adding images with a brief explanation. Finally, I want to encourage you to participate in the forum: it is a learning log that we all build together. Comment on the work of your colleagues, contribute ideas and share your progress and doubts. I too will be there as often as possible to give you advice and answer your questions. I will be delighted to see your work and evolution. See you soon! ”
