LEPORELLO (ENDLESS BOOK) BINDING TUTORIAL

Natalie Ratkovski announced a new project for 2014: An Endless Book.  Painters, photographers, scrapbookers are invited to create an endless book: 52 pages of illustrations without borders or edges, one illustration per week.  At the end of the year each of us will have one panoramic "image".

Before starting the project one needs a Leporello bound notebook.  I chose to use paper bags for mine - easy and perfect for collages/scrapbook pages I am planning on making.
The name leporello is derived from the opera Don Giovanni. Leporello was his manservant. He kept a record of Don Giovanni's female conquests in a book. At the end of Act II he spread the book across the stage. It's an accordion fold of unlimited width. Pages are joined to form the accordion.
Мини скрап альбомы из бумажных пакетов очень популярны на западе. Я уже давно хотела попробовать сделать подобный скрап альбом, но всё никак не доходили руки. "Почему бы не совместить бумажные пакеты и лепорелло?" - подумала я и получился вот такой вот мастер-класс. Итак, книга лепорелло из бумажных пакетов. 

Вам понадобятся: бумажные пакеты, клей (можно использовать любой, но я выбрала двустороннюю клейкую ленту, которая не коробит бумагу) и ножницы/кисточка для клея.
 
Для начала, согните дно пакетов как показано на фотографии.


For the "endless" book you will need to connect the top of one bag with the bottom of the second one.

Для создания бесконечной гармошки один пакет будем склеивать с другим.

Here you can see white strips of my double-sided tape:

На этой фотографии видны белые полоски двусторонней клейкой ленты.  Всё что нужно сделать - приклеить "верх" пакета между двумя "клапанами":



Note: add "pages" on both sides of the block.  Adding bags to one side only will cause your block to be uneven.

Совет: добавляйте страницы-пакеты и к началу и к концу блока, таким образом ваш блок будет более ровным и его не перекосит в сторону.


Time to make covers:

Для обложек нам понадобятся два прямоугольника из плотного картона, чуть больше по размерам чем сам блок (у меня получились 24смx14см).  Их можно обтянуть тканью или обклеить бумагой.

Готовые обложки просто приклейте к последним страницам блока

This is how your paper bag leporello bound book will look like.
I am anxious to start An Endless Book project in January. I hope I'll be able to keep up and will share weekly pages with you, my readers. 

А вот как книга лепорелло из бумажных пакетов выглядит внутри.
Я с нетерпением жду начала проекта Бесконечная Книга.  Надеюсь у меня будет достаточно времени чтобы не бросить затею на пол пути.




Note: If you are making this projects with 52 pages your block will be rather thick.  You can leave it under a thick book/weight overnight before attaching covers.  What you see on my photos are only first 13 pages of my endless book.  Since the back cover of my block is attached with a temporary glue I will be adding pages as the project continues.

Внимание: на фотографиях показаны только первые 13 страниц лепорелло.  Блок из 52 страниц должнен получиться гораздо "выше".  Прежде чем приклеить обложки, готовый блок можно подержать под прессом.  Я планирую добавлять страницы во время проекта, поэтому заднюю обложку я клеела неперманентным клеем.

  8. what color lights help you sleep? The answer to this question is not as straightforward. However, white and red lights can make it harder for people who want some peaceful snoozing time by disrupting the natural circadian rhythm with blue tones instead!

  9. It is a more helpful and time saving post. What is a Turkish visa online ? It is nothing more than a substitute for a Turkish physical visa. but the application process is more simple than the Turkish physical visa. You can also check the details about the Turkish online visa.

  10. It was a very good post indeed. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it in my lunch time. Will surely come and visit this blog more often. Visa for Turkey from US is electronic travel authorizations provided by the Turkish government to citizens of the United States. In contrast to a regular visa, this one is for travelers who do not want to apply for a visa in advance and wish to travel to Turkey.

  11. While I have read your article several times, I find many valid points in it. I am confident your readers will enjoy it. Travelers can apply for a Turkey evisa which is very easy. If you have an internet connection and valid documents, you can apply online from anywhere in the world.
