Encaustic Japanese Stab Bound Book

Japanese Stab Bound Book with Encaustic Cover

Now that I have so many encaustic papers which I made on a hot box I want to use them and here is one of the uses, a Japanese stab bound book.  I adhered the encaustic paper to a sheet of watercolor paper using PVA glue.  Not sure if I will continue using PVA or not for adherence.  I am trying different techniques to see what I like best.  It seemed to work but time will tell after a bit of wear and tear.  I did try it on a small piece of watercolor paper and the encaustic started to peel off.  So I might be back to square one on what glue to use.

    Hi john, this is simply exquisite! I’ve been cutting my encaustic papers up for collage; and have framed and few pieces..did not think of binding a book!
    I think i mentioned that the only way i can get encaustic pieces to adhere is with a glue stick.
    What did you use for your paper with the wax?

    Aleene’s Tacky glue or YES paste?

    Also, curious about the paper type.
    It is gorgeous.
