Getting ready to bind

A few posts ago I shared, that the great folks at Canson sent me a huge box filled with am amazing assortment of paper to test. 

Normally I bind my sketchbooks with 90lb Canson Foundation Series WC paper and enjoy it. I also will add toned paper. Either brown Bogus or grey tinted Strathmore. 

My current book is almost done so tonight I started cutting the paper for the signatures. I am using the 9x12 pads which works out perfect since I get two signature pages per one 9x12. 

I am using the Bristol and pastel paper( 1 from the gray tones and 1 from the earth tones) 

By the weekend I should be complete and ready to test!! I am really looking forward to trying out the new paper. 

Stay tuned :)
