We’re having a paste making party at the bindery tonight. We have a stack of new limp leather covers to make in the morning so are getting the adhesive ready. We prefer to make it on a double boiler so it’s the way we like it. Now back to other projects before calling it a night. #bookconservation #bookrepair #biblerepair #paste #wheatstarchpaste #latenightcooking (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkhWwPiIsLC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mixing up a batch of @washiarts great Jin Shofu wheat starch paste today. It makes a great paste for repairs and lining paper. #bookconservation #bookrepair #bookbinding #bookarts #jinshofu #wheatstarchpaste #atlantabookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PUUimps7l/?igshid=1cpel1aa3s9w8

Repairing a dust jacket today in the shop. I love paper repair, it’s so quiet focused. #bookconservation #paperconservation #paperrepair #wheatstarchpaste #japanesepaper (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpZzoeGgkf_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v8hxhq65mun3

We didn’t cook up any black-eyed peas or collard greens, but we did mix up a new batch of paste to start the week. Hope you all cooked your favorite New Year’s Day concoction today. #bookconservation #bookrepair #wheatstarchpaste #bookbindingadhesive #newyearsdaycooking (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5JjMUs5xo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
