The visual mull

Apparently my presentation lacked clarity.  :-( 

The mull is the material used to attach the text block to the hard cover case in book binding or repair.  In the repair job photographed above, white linen was used. As my presentation notes, other material can be used, such as your husband's jeans.  Be sure he is not in them when you cut them up.  This white linen is from a towel once owned by my grandmother, or great grandmother, or great great....yeah, they kept everything, and linen is good for into the hundreds of years. The mull is glued to the spine of the text block and then its flap edges are glued to the front and back cover of the book.  It is this design which enables you to put the fine spacutla down inside the spine of the book to attach the tattle tape.

Prezi Mull

Sorry, clearly music does not interest me enough.  I forgot it as a subject the moment I opened prezi and started to work.  :-)

For the first while working with prezi Arrrrrgggghhhh was my only comment.  And if there is another way to get my presentation into my blog other than as a link I haven't found it yet.  I began to get used to the program.  Still can't figure out how to get my mull samples to show up in the centre of the screen when they were on stage by themselves.  I shrunk them and the shot only zoomed in closer.  Thus far, I think I am glad I do not have to do many presentations.

Colin Firth.  Heavy sigh, even after all these years.
