Forgot to share the incredible #endPapers from Nature Through the Seasons.
Possibly a photogram turned into a mirrored monochrome pattern

Oh dear
»I’ve avoided doctors since (…) my mother insisted she’d found someone “perfect,” a chiropractor«

So the narrator doesn’t go to fisicians and hasn’t got a general practitioner to go to because eir mother made eir go to a chiropractor. 🤦🏼
Yeah, well. Those arn’t proper fisicians.

Checking in on the marigold paste papers I made yesterday. They’ve dried with a beautiful yellow, like best butter. I also tried just saturating some pages with the marigold & water without paste and it’s made some really vibrant shades in the areas where it was thickest. I’m going to give them a second coat to try to get a deep shade all over.

Much more concentrated colour than boiling. Marigold so far has deepened as it’s dried so I can’t wait to see what colour this will turn out. I was going to do a pattern but I like the brush marks #Bookbinding #pastePapers #Endpapers #NaturalInk
Marigold paste. This time instead of boiling the marigold to release the colour, i blended it with cold water and filtered it. Mixed with cornflour to make the paste. I’m going to do a single colour paste paper with this one. Trying out some new paper to, a 140 gsm recycled cartridge paper made from coffee cups.

I’ve been experimenting with creating my own decorative endpapers for bookbinding using natural ink made from local plants. This is my favourite so far. It’s all viburnum opulus berries. The pink is the ink after boiling with water. I added a little lemon juice to raise the acidity after discovering it turns blue where it reacts with the acid-free paper as I wanted to preserve some of the vibrant pink, the burnt orange is mixed with a little bicarb of soda.
