I think I'll be a better judge when it comes to inspecting a books binding, by knowing what pages has been sewn to the spine from those that have just been glued.
This one began to shed pages on its own after I had removed some as I started the art altering process.
Which in turn taught me what methods and materials worked best to repair the pages I had already completed.
I found that a wider sturdier piece of tape worked better than regular scotch tape. Scotch tape and the masking tapes I used spilt on me.
I found that strips of fabric proved to be useful ,not to mention adding another interest point when trying to keep the pages attached
I ended up using small " pleather" necklace twine to sew through the cloth inner binding to the outside of the books spine as a method to hold the book together.
I have two page spreads left in this book. My plan is to finish it today because I am anxious to start working on the next book in my color series, My Little Book of Red.

Sherry, Thank you for the nice comment.
I have collected some red paint swatches. I had to laugh because 80% are some version with rose in the name. I'm seeing valentines and roses in my future:)
