| Homemade book with flap bindings |
Last weekend I spent some time with a friend learning more about book binding. The results of my weekend included three new books on which I experimented with new bindings.
One book uses a type of tab to connect the sewn signatures to the cover. This book also has a wrap around cover, which I always love. I made two books using the same cover materials. They are pictured here.

Another book I am experimenting with is one that has the signatures sewn right into the cover. It took awhile to figure out the clasp...it wasn't difficult to sew, I just hadn't made one before. I do like the bead details on the spine. This book also makes use of some deer hide. It was a bit tough to sew through, but my trusty awl helped me out! Mo

This book still needs some work, but it's been great fun creating it!. |
More books to come!
