Getting Started.


Roysh, Okay.
I had no idea what to do for the theme of my book hence the title of my blog "A Lot To Do About Nothing" then I realised the theme was already there. "A Lot To Do About Nothing" is a perfect theme for me, it's vague and uncertain like I am. My book is fairly hazy, it's quite structured on the outside like a genuine book but within the cover it's indeterminate and quizzical. What is it for? What do you do with it? The answer is anything you effing want. Draw in it, write in it, stick things in it, rip things out. Who cares? It's a book you can use and abuse.

I started my whatever book by collecting different kinds of paper, gift bags, tissue paper, scrap paper and anything that interested me.


I cut the different samples of paper to A4, all the same size. I then folded the samples in half to make them A5.




Once the pages were folded all nice and even I glued edges of the pages together. The sealed edge will be glued along the spine of the book and the folded side will be visible.

This is basically what I have done so far. Overall the book will compose of 30-40 sheets of different paper, some patterend some plain. Tomorrow I plan to fuse the pages together and finish my cover.
