Bookbinding

After long considerations, I have decided to make a book. As it was a kind of a last minute decision, I went straight to the book binding room where I found R. Nash. An absolutely amazing person, gave me some valuable tips, and said, that it is still possible to realize my idea of printing a book. All I had to do is to buy an appropriate paper and stitching materials. Richard suggested me the Shepherds in London, however, I managed to save a journey, ans found some great paper and other needed materials in a local art shop.

As soon as I got back home, I watched all possible tutorials on working with Adobe InDesign, and downloaded a free trial version to experiment working with it. Did not seem to be very difficult, so I felt quite confident with it. Prepared my text and images and, and came back to him next week.

Spend a day adjusting settings and file, converted into a PDF and printed my book! I found it as a great and addictive experience, with a real intention to create some more in the near future. I actually expected the binding to take the huge amount of time, however, I was surprised  a it only took me about ten minutes, and voila, there is my first book !

Received Images Back !

Due to my blog been crashed for a few days I've been working in word to keep up to date.

So I received images back from my grandparents in Lithuania ! They have been absolutely amazing, and I am very happy with what they have written. Both of then described the day photograph was taken, and so I revealed something I did not know. It is absolutely exciting, and I am so happy with this project so far.



They have also sent me a hand written letter, which perhaps was the first one in my life. Feels amazing.



A proof !



The next step is to think, what am I doing with the images !
