All true crafts folk look after their tools and kit. Bookcraft does not require much in the way of stuff that needs tidying away. Bookbinding does need some bulky kit. The busybusydotco site provides numerous tips which may be useful ~ and we will be happy to share any of your ideas. We are especially keen on <b>handmade</b> things and recycled material. For example the paper ~ below left ~ is handmade from unused tee-shirt cuttings at a small, friendly, workshop in India [120729]. We are currently using a very fine paper from Nepal ~ which has an interesting backstory [126979]. The sharps’ tin (below) will last a lifetime ~ and it is a vital bit of often neglected health and safety. Anyone who has dropped a spool of thread and watched it unwind on the floor ~ or left it get dusty on the shelf or dirty on the worktop ~ will appreciate the string dispenser. In the picture below one is covered with a decorative Italian designed musical paper.
