I have been mulling over how I might present-publish my small Scotland photo inspired poems - and then out of the blue Fiona received the gift of a small booklet from her friend Annwyn - I was immediately attracted to the clever layered design.
The possible presentation of a photo and poem might look something like the opening photo - booklet size A7. Annwyn gave me permission to base my booklet on her design - much appreciated.
As you can see from the photos below I had sketched and worked out the measurements for my booklet during one of my biblio sessions.
Then I did the cutting, printing, typing on the old typewriter and stitching - with Fiona's guidance regarding needle, sequence and thread size. Photos of the process below.
The closure I settled on was my design - a wee toggle made from silver-plate; and at Fiona's suggestion a typed end page.
The mock up has given me the chance to do a practical test of the design - there will be a few refinements.
It is likely that I will not get to publish any of the poems until later in the year - too many things to do before we head to Scotland.
