Holly and William's wedding album
This wedding album contains advice from the guests to the bride and groom on how to stay happily married. It is influenced by the medieval traditional of binding with a wood spine, however, the patterns are inspired by Keith Smith's 1, 2, 3 Section Bindings. There are eight sections in the book with a total of four different patterns being used. One of the patterns (the cross-hatching) is repeated on the first three and last three sections in the book.
The monogram on the cover is my own design. It incorporates both the H and the W from Holly and William. The cover paper is St. Armand Watercolour (lime) and was hand made in Montreal, Canada.
Spine detail: the spine is oak with a teak oil finish. It is sewn onto linen thread through 1/16" drill bit holes.
