so i made a book

Jun 08, 2009 19:35

yesterday i made a book (technically a booklet) and gave myself a blister sewing the binding. >.< it's a very cute booklet, tho, and once it gets to its final home i'll post some pics. it was book-i-wanted-to-make #2. in the meantime i can share pics of book-i-wanted-to-make #1, which did get to its final home.

( i apologize in advance for how huge the photos are )

Oh, WOW. Delta Blues is my favorite thing Sandra has written (so far!) and I think this book is perfect for it.

it's such a good story. i wish she'd unflock it so i could send everyone over to read it.

that is /awesome/. i'm even more excited about the bookmaking class i'm taking now <3<3 hopefully i'll learn to make awesome books like that one.

i'm glad you like. i'm excited for your bookmaking class, and i'm not even taking it! it's fun. :D coptic stitch isn't exactly easy, but there are definitely fewer steps than with a closed binding, like your standard hardcover book has. and they open flat.
