Finally got around to some more bookmaking projects! This was my first attempt at doing cloth covers, and I tried making an accordion book with thicker paper and a Coptic stich sketchbook. I'm really proud of them and feel like each time they become a bit easier.

A few fun stories about some of them below.

1/4

Five handmade books on a bamboo table. On the top are two Coptic stitch books. One has a cloth cover in black with Jaipuri print. The other has a blue cover with a photo print of a prominent modern art piece. The last one on the top row is a small pamphlet stich book with a sticker from India Coffee House. On the second row is a cloth bound accordion book with a cloth cover with red flowers. The other is a Coptic stich sketchbook with a plaid cloth cover and a postcard from the Portland Saturday market.

I made this book a while ago. This sticker is from one of our favorite shops in . We go every time we visit . When I looked at a bag of coffee, I did not realize that there was a sticker from the shop there. It seemed like it was made for the cover. For more about the place, see this post I made with @dohappybelove

@dohappybelove Both of these were Coptic stich books with some flaws on the cover. For both, I found some cool things to put on the cover. The larger has an image is from a map for the Art Institute in Chicago (Alma Thomas' "Starry Night and the Astronauts) and the other is a postcard from the Portland Saturday Market!

@dohappybelove I've really been enjoying bookmaking as a hobby. Here is a previous post form some I made in Spring 2023. Thanks for looking and I look forward to sharing more!
