To plan a book with a certain number of pages, I have made a miniature model to understand where the pages go. The layout takes some planning to get it right.It is especially important when you want a double-spread somewhere in the book.Page one connected to 28, page 2 connected to 27 and so on.
When editing the layout for each page I have made some markings for the middle of the sheet and middle of the page.This is a stencil I ceep in my file and start every layout with, before I import the different images and place them on the pages.
That is not to say I will place all the images in the middle, but I need to know where it is at all times.
I made my first test for a hard-cover in A3, but I have changed it now to fit the maximum output from my laser-printer instead of my inkjet-printer.
Here I am testing computor-prints, lithographies and intaglio drypoint.
And here is the weather outside my studio!

hej Elisabeth..
det ser superspændende ud med dit bogprojekt....meget smukt....og sjovt at se sne hos dig...her har der ikke været sne overhovedet og set i ly af de to foregående år med hver sin vinter af min. 3 måneders va<righed med sne, sne og atter sne som en dyne over landskabet hele vinterperioden...så nyder jeg at her hos os er der grønt...dog er der lovet frosdt den næste periode...så der kan selvfølgelig komme noget sne om der kommer nedbør...
god arbejdslyst fortsat...:O)

Hei,Anita.
Ja jeg er fornøyd med at det det kom litt sne for å beskytte hageplantene for hard kulde.
Fjoråret var fæælt!
Ellers skal jeg snart i gang med å så noen tidlige frø.Skal først sette opp en hylle midt i bakrommet og montere en lampe for hver hylle.

Hi dee hi
Just thought I would drop by to see what you are up to and my my ...you have been busy. Its looking GOOD. Be careful you don't end up with a book thats very heavy and thereby expensive for posting all over the world . Mine were insane, in that respect - each book weighed 1.2 kilos when wrapped for posting !!
I have been finally getting to grips with my rubber stamp making machine. Now I can confidentially do them and that is very satisfying because when I tried it before it was a total disappointment - I didn't pay enough attention to the instructions !!
My plan is to offset the handwriting from the stamps onto acetate and then make monoprints (with figurative interruptions) I did a little test and it works nicely. I am making 5 A4 size 'plates' well they are actually polymer.
I am looking forward to that part as this has been a lot of work on the computer getting the negatives perfect.
It is just my luck that you can now buy this a4 rubber stamp making machine for about 130 GBP whereas when I purchased it about 3 years ago - it cost me about 300 GBP - those were the days when I had money. Are you finding money not so fluid nowadays ??
Keep up the good work and I look forward to eventually exchanging books with you - at least I know I am going to get one book that I will really love.
