On Sunday I drove to Leicester to hand over the AVL warping wheel and got caught in a blizzard coming home on the A34. Very nasty. Sort of brown fog. So thick I could not see the car head-lights on the other carriageway. On Monday I drove to Stratford by way of Newent (north of Gloucester). On Tuesday I only drove to Wokingham which is 30 minutes away. On Wednesday I was due to drive to Marlborough but took one look at the snow and cancelled. It is even thicker this morning and more is forecast for this morning. Looking at the weather forecasts, that is it, I am staying inside until Sunday possibly Monday.
So yesterday, I spent the whole day bookbinding and finished off The Illustrated Man. Cover is below.
I had trouble selecting the endpapers and in the end used the background to the lettering on the cover
I need to write this up. Next today is to finish the binding of a copy of 1860 Mother Goose. The text block is sewn and the endpapers applied. I found, in the stash, some rather nice endpapers to use, 1930s I guess. And the cover is ready so that is today's job. I might even get some weaving done.
