I, too, have been working with cork, cork fabric and cork paper. As many on the forum, who can resist a good coaster! I have been using cork fabric, all pieces cut on the GF, to make wallets, pencil holders and notebook covers. I do like the fabric a lot as it is easy to work with, comes in a variety of patterns and can easily be sewn on my Singer. I think you can also engrave it fairly well. I have also been using cork paper which I enjoy also. Mostly I have been hand binding small journals. It is fun stuff and I have a few other ideas that are currently under contractions with the fabric and paper.
Thanks! All that was purchased that way. I think you could colour it with sharpie. I did the slightest bit of colouring with sharpie on cork fabric. Needs extra time to dry and probably need more testing. There could certainly be alternatives.
It sure is trendy! Cork paper is fun, too. I get mine on Etsy. You can get it plain or with adhesive on the back. I am sure there is more you can do with it beyond bookbinding, but I my use has been narrow.
Lovely designs! The printed ones really pop. I think coptic binding in bright colors would be amazing on the books against the natural cork.
Thanks for the heads up about cork paper! That’s something I will definitely look into since I love, love, love paper stuff but have limited tools for working with the fabric.
