I’ve been working on the recycled journals again. Below I’ve got 4 that I’ve finished. I made the covers ages ago.
Recently I’ve been having to work insane amounts at work and the only things I’ve been able to really work on without thinking have been these recycled books. I picked some of my favorite single section sewings and did them 4 times across the spines. I also picked a 2-section sewing and doubled it. It made for a nice spine.
I used unbleached natural hemp for all of the sewings.
The spines are leather form my scrap heap, picked for their size and interesting edges. I glued and clamped these to the stiff chipboard.
Anyway, check them out below:
Comfortable Shoes Studio is the name of my little studio in Beverly, Massachusetts; here I paint large watercolors, smaller acrylics, and mostly bind books and journals. I specialize in custom bound journals and sketchbooks with adhesive-free sewing in which the sewing is visible and decorative on the spine. If you're interested please email me!
