The Binder: LittleSyam
Hi,
I attended one of the slots of Book Binding Workshop by LittleSyam last saturday at Beading.my, Setapak KL. Looking for a new stuff to make (plus adoring her passion and lovely books), I decided to register myself into one of the session (French Stitch Technique).
I was a bit late that day, even though I was the first who called the "teacher" asking for the location. The class started at 10am but I reached the place at 11.30am.
Funny how I hardly find the location and drove around the same place like twice or three times. I was lost! (padahalnya I was staying in Wangsa Maju for about a year in 2004.) Ha-ha! Silly me!
It was a fun class, meeting a new cluster of people, having a new knowledge and skill, and of course, we made our own book! And the cikgu-- Kak Syam, sangat best. I don't know, but I think she's got a lot to teach but due to the 3-hour course, she just did her best. I did some purchasing on materials for making books from her too.
Imran encourages me to make lots of book with my own design, and maybe I can sell it. Well, let's see how it goes!
Till then!

This Little Book
Salam and Hello!
Before I post out my last weekend activity, here is some hints.
During my study year in aviation, I (with friends) had made copies of books and documents related to aircraft engineering and maintenance for our future references. All copies had been sent to the binding shop except for one. This 737-300 systems manual was hand-bound by me myself. I used some recycled brown corrugated box and scrapped wrapping paper for the cover. It cost me nothing. :)
But I just used adhesive to bind it. Simple!
And this little handmade notebook (I made 3-- but only this one left!), was used for note-taking, sketching and doodling during working at the aircraft. Handy and cute!
This box, made of the hardcover from some old book, I joined and glued them, then covered the box with the water-based adhesive craft paper tape. I used stencil technique for the maple leaves, then finally sprayed with the gloss paint.
These are the latest books that I've made.
{{Actually I made these notebook, for sale at MIAT's Registration Day past 2 months, but I could make only two. Ha-ha!}}
The covers are made of felt, and are ring-bound.
Cute, ain't it?
That's a little bit on bookbinding. Next entry will something about what I've been doing last weekend. Wait for it, ya.
By the way, please alert. I giving something away! So, stay tune!
Till then.
Ta-ta!

And as always, I like to put my 'signature' on my own handmade stuff. [berangan!]
