I like to make books. I don't write them, or at least not yet, but I love the process of selecting paper and cover materials, using interesting things to bind the book together, and experimenting with different styles of bindings. Rice paper makes great end papers for the interior of the covers. It holds a rich color when dyed, and brings that really neat texture. It's also quite thin, so it lends itself well to more delicate works.
I haven't made a book in ages, but when I get back to it I plan to blog about that too.
