"Rounding Corners" >>> Texture/Color Study Process

I am almost finished on my swatch book. I thought it would make my book look a lot better if I rounded the corners. So i went and bought a corner rounder, and I was right, the book looks much better!
right angles...

round!

Once all of my textures were backed with bristol paper, and had rounded corners, I began laying out the swatch book. First I grouped similar colors.

Then I took all of the groups of colors and organized them from the beginning to the end of the book. The book will begin with blue/brown, blue, blue/pink, pink, pink/brown, pink/brown/blue, and finally end with just browns.

And here are all of the swatches stacked up ready to be hooked together. There are about 50 swatches on it, and I made a special cover for it too.
