End banding and end banding silks. Part of the palette.
End banding... the start. A simple, single core end band.
End banding. Unlike the more traditional approach to the sewn end
band... 3 white 3 red 3white etc the contemporary end band can form part
of design narrative. With the colour palette I have for this book I am
looking for a multi coloured or banded look. The colours will jump and
flow across the end band. Threads are added and taken away, grouped and
spread. I work from the front of the book with the view of the finished
end band in my eye and I tie down at each section. Please note, I am
aware of other end band techniques and methods of working. I am using
this particular technique because it is in keeping with my current
approach to contemporary bookbinding. Please also note, I am aware of
other contemporary methods etc.
