The giant letterbook : FINISHED!

 Remember some months ago? When I started cutting linoleum for this project. 

Almost 30 lino-plates later the book is ready!!! I will didn't count my tears while binding this book.

Recently I'm following a course about bookbinding and all the related things, but binding a book of this size (A3) isn't even a command in the first year of the course. So I illustrated the text of Barbara Vanden Eynde and finished the prints as one enormous book. The book will be used in a guided tour for toddlers and it has even the size of a toddler. Hope they will love it!!!
Funny detail : 3 more books like this to finish :) Wish me luck!

A-B-P...

Time for Q and his friends. This is how far I am for now. Still to com is L and F.

In black and white for now to have a bright look on the form itself.

Any comments, ideas are welcome of course!

ABC - book in progress

I'm cutting and cutting, my back is hurting a lot...but I'm close to the finish and my own creations keep me going on. This viking turned out even more sympathic then I wanted, soon I fall in love with him :) Love the proces...colouring is so much fun!

Mushroom-pattern

This huge paper will come into the new Alice in Wonderland-book I'm making in my course. This will be the paper inside. One in the beginning, one in the end. Time to stitch the restored book! :)

The alphabet is growing... :)

Workshop Day 2 / A beasty linocut

In de voormiddag schreven de kinderen een 'beestig verhaal' en na de middag gingen ze aan de slag met linoleum om een opvallende cover voor hun mini-boekje te ontwerpen.
Before noon the kids were writing a 'beasty' story and in the afternoon they designed their own cover for the little book by linocutting.

Tutorial...for you!

For Dinara and all the curious ones who want to know how you can make a 'blind' print. TRY and LOVE it!
