Here is the final version on the Megado with most of the enamel squares inserted. I have one more row to do. The lower photo shows the ends which are black warp and yellow weft. I wanted to use one of the yarn colours in the main weaving as weft and yellow is the lightest - gives a sort of khaki effect at a distance. I am stuck with having a black warp because I want the same colour throughout the ends.
Alice Schlein mentioned a firm called Volcano Arts in her blog and I bought an unbound copy of Alice in Wonderland from them so that I could bind it. I asked Michael if he would do a front and back cover for it and the pictures on the left show the current versions (back at the top, front below). He is thinking about end-papers now. I would like the tree incorporated but he is not convinced that is a good idea. This will not be Japanese style or Coptic binding but a plain ordinary cased-in binding, probably with book-cloth on the spine and part way over the covers and the rest of the cover with Michael's paper .
