I've made a new addition to my sidebar. It's a sort of "Tip of the Day". I've started this because I made a **BIG** boo-boo, and didn't realize it until I was almost done.
In the midst of making my cover, I realized I mis-measured one of my spines. I'm actually quite upset. I measured each book-block separately, when I was supposed to measure (for one spine) both book-blocks together, then the smaller one by itself. I can get the gist of what my book will look like (it'll look really good once it's done) despite my mistake, but I cannot continue with my book the way it is.
I'm quite upset, because I've ruined precious vinyl. Walmart...has decided to discontinue selling the vinyl I'm using to make my books, so now I have to find a new place for vinyl supply. I suppose if I run out I can use the brown velvet I have that I've previously bought (for a previous book I made), but it's quite a thick material.
So...because of this mistake I've made, It's sparked a new addition for my blog.
The tip of the day today is (as seen on the sidebar): Measure Twice, Cut Once

I've bought new canvas boards and more glue. Let's hope (fingers crossed) that all goes well tomorrow (going to try again) and I can show off my new book.
