Wk. 32, Book 32: The 45s Book, Vol. 2

this week's offering is my second attempt at creating a book out of vinyl 45 records. i this this gold cover works. still, it's hard to work with vinyl and to create a binding seam that holds the records together with smooth, round edges.


like the first 45 Book (Wk. 28), the binding seam that holds the records together is made of Scotch tape reinforced with surgical tape, which allows for a smoother seam. however, the Scotch tape still doesn't give me the elasticity needed to fully open and flip through each page in the book. 



i overlaid the back record with paper and a piece of a soft, vinyl-like bag, to distinguish the front and back covers. overall, i like most of the revisions in Vol. 2, but still have a way to go before i can call this book absolutely done. the next big step is figuring out how to include a sound chip.
