About
Hiya! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I have a passion for bookbinding, printmaking of all kinds, and all other things tactile…and for this reason I’m finally starting a blog where I can post photographs of my work and share other amazing websites that I have found. Please take a look at my pages (below, or on the right-hand column). Questions about my work or my blog can be sent to lilbookbinder [at] gmail [dot] com.

Hi Lili, got the link from your announcement on the book list serve…this is a great site. Congrats. I have bookmarked and will explore much more thoroughly when I have time. Great work! Best, Catherine
I, too, followed your link on the Book_Arts-L listserv. Thanks for posting it– your blog is a feast for the eye and I’m looking forward to exploring every page.
Hi,
What an amazing collection of work! I am new to bookbinding so could you please give some examples of the type of paper and weight you are using for the book covers & the spine themselves? When I google bookbinding paper etc I only find places that sell them and not info on the type used. My concern is that if I use typical printer papaer (marbled by hand) the paper will eventually bubble or easily rip. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Lili,
Amazing work. I teach bookbinding at the Portfolio Center in Atlanta GA. I’ll tell my students to check out your work. It is inspiring. Where did you receive your BFA and training?
Thanks,
Michael

Hello from Russia!
I apologize for the errors, the translator of google.
We are your colleagues who are also engaged in manufacturing of binders, but almost exclusively from natural leather. Technology we have only the more modern, medium and large runs.
But we can and make a classic cover.
We had a request for production is not for standard folders for a restaurant in New York, we were told that they could not find in the U.S. who would have done to them, all offer only standard products, without imagination, and the retreat of their products worked technologies.
And now, a beautiful woman, beautiful work. How unlucky customer that he did not find you.
If you do not mind I’ll take on arms nekotrye ideas?

A wonderful blog. I appreciated your description of paste papers.
