After spending a semester of studying book binding methods, typography, paper arts, and various other aspects of the creation and art behind making a book, I wrapped my studies into practice. This book is a leather bound long stitch binding. The paper is sketch paper you can buy at craft stores (bought for purpose of art sketching) and is made into 6 signatures cut by hand to size, all sewn into the leather binding with waxed thread. The buttons are craft store wooden buttons sewn in with waxed thread.
The book only took a few days in between studying for finals to create and I am very pleased with it considering it was my first time! Follow this link on long stitch binding to try for yourself!
