We're going on a little family holiday soon and Jupes wanted a new journal to write/art in for the trip. I made them this last night, they picked the colors. Then I made myself one. Then I drew Jupiter's book inside my book. Jupes said this is journal-ception. French stitch is still my favorite by far. Coptic is basically dead to me, lol. #BookBinding #BookMaking #watercolors #watercolours #ArtJournal

    I had the thought, "It's too flat, and it's just hanging in the air," so I added more...stuffs.

    @hollie@social.coop Those stitches are amazing! How to learn to do this? My daughter will go crazy for this. I staple the papers for her now.

    @hollie@social.coop Your handwriting is so great! I'm envious. Did you use mulberry paper for the covers? I love the fibre bits in the papers. I wanted to buy hanji paper in Korea, but they sold it in large rolls that would have been unsuitable for me to carry in my backpack!

    @hollie@social.coop What I don't like about Coptic binding is the way there always seems to be gaps between the signatures when you open the book up. I really don't like that.

    @hollie@social.coop I've never tried working over fabric like that. It's a cool look! I'm assuming they're glued to the covers but otherwise loose in there?
