Getting clay books ready for the book fair

The porcelain "pages"  are ready for lacing together - these are thin enough to let daylight through -

This one is thicker, and needs to have a strong light source behind it to show the detail "inside" -


The multi-page books are quite opaque -
As for the "maze" books, dipped in slip - these are rather fragile and transport (by train) is difficult. I'm making a box for each one, and a "nest" inside the box. And the boxes will be carefully packed within another box.
