I bought a couple of hardback books from the charity shop and up-cycled them into handmade books filled with watercolour paper, and covered them with unique printed paper using my gel plate.

I added a new book binding stitch to my reportoire. This book was made with recycled materials, and I used a variation of the traditional buttonhole binding stitch to hold my signatures in place.

A productive January making hardbound books. Experimenting with different binding styles like Coptic stitch, French Link Stitch, Case Binding, Secret Belgium Binding, and Australian (Reverse) Piano Hinge Binding.
