Episode 23: Invisible Rhinos

Here we have a couple of shots of a Work In Progress. (I love that phrase; it might mean: not finished yet - may never be.) Cool. Anyway, here is a shot of the parts including pages that are as of yet blank. They will, hopefully, be filled with ramblings, stories and drawings before the book is 'finished.' I have the ideas, not the time. There are eight signatures of four pages each for 16 pages per signature. I'm going to beeswax some colored thread, in the foreground, there, and use a long stitch (exposed) binding. Next, details from the front. Here we see a fish-like creature with a fishline-like object jutting out of its southern mouth area. With 'Premium roast coffee' and a couple of buttons. This book has three cords - two wrap around the whole book while one is content with just flipping over the front edge. These two buttons are what the cords will wrap around once they circumnavigate the book. Both the coffee boast and the 'ECO' (Enron Company Officer?) are from a McDonald's takeout bag, hence the existence of half the easily if not readily identifiable 'M'. Besides the insides, I need to put on the endpapers and drill the holes for the exposed binding. Hopefully, someday soon this will no longer be a "Work in Progress."
