Right opposite the entrance to our quarter in Leiden there's an old books shop. In the window passers by can see lots of book-earrings with marbled covers.
Every month I add new blogs to my feed. It is really inspiring to see all these fine people writing about bookbinding and book conservation tricks, their projects and thoughts.

Yesterday was the second gold tooling class I’m taking. Once again, we’ve been practicing lines on dummy books. However, our teacher reserved some fun for the end of the workshop.
