Above are four versions of the book cover for Omar Khayyam. These were made using the Thermofax stencils I had made. using Permaset Textile Inks. The top two were not quite registered but I quite like the effect. The bottom right is supposed to be 'IT'.
I have prepared the text to be made - based on a scan of the book's title page and I have rigged up a method of auditioning the text and its position on the cover.
The text will be applied using JetFX paper which allows the background to show. My only worry about the text is the font size of the title on the spine. Fortunately I have four test pieces to play with!!! The exact position of the first verse on the back is not quite settled either.
The Megado weaving progresses. I have only 15 inches left to do. I am off to Devises to a private course in Coptic binding today and should be back by six. I have to complete the Omar Khayyam cover this evening as the fabric has to be stuck to paper and must dry over night. I want to finish the book at the class tomorrow. But I am hoping to finish the weaving as well. Probably over ambitious!!
I have come up with several designs for work to be put into the St Martin's Exhibition. This includes a panel about the Omar Khayyam cover - well it is a Legacy.
