Book du jour - reading rooms

Two stages of making the outside of the "rooms" - graphite rubbing of the wall and the fingerplate and keyhole on the door, and the inking up, first with indian ink and then quink -

This became three stages when I added rubbing with the end of a wax candle - it leaves the white dotty marks -

 More rubbings inside the rooms, and if you look closely you'll see single words added to each page -

 Now the hard part - accurately folding the sheets of paper. They are quite thick, thanks to the emulsion paint on the other side. Fold before cutting, or cut before folding?

Inking up this sheet, I accidentally used indian ink for both layers on the left half. All the graphite got covered,  and needed to be added afterwards. I was surprised that the "under-writing" showed so well, and am tempted to re-do the Quink pages. The waxed areas show through in a different, more mysterious way.

Also there's the small matter of which words to use, inside the rooms. Raising my eyes from the computer screen to the bookshelf above it, I see "The Lost Art of Reading" (by David L. Ulin); five lines read at random yield:  anonymous, comment, innuendo, noise, disputes, constant - this book, faut de mieux, will be the source of the words... but how many, and which, should be in colour?
