Instead of doing the suggested fabric cover for the third book in my online class, I made this.
I took previously painted 140# paper, a slash and slosh watercolor experiment, and coated it with soft gel medium.
Inside I coated the paper, then glued on a liner of muslin, using gel medium.
The paper has a feeling of canvas. Flexible but much firmer than a simple fabric cover.
This scan does not show about 3 more inches on the (here) bottom edge. The cover will be put on the book so that the right edge here is either the bottom or the top of the book. Haven't decided yet.
