Book It

Book artists, look away. You will not be impressed by this, my first-ever attempt at coptic book making. But, oh what a victory it was for me. Using vintage postcards (a frozen waterfall in Cathedral Caverns, Alabama!?), graph paper, wax linen thread, and a curved needle, I made myself a pocket notebook with six signatures of eight pages each, inspired by Esther K. Smith's resource guide and this helpful video. After meeting Ms. Smith during my visit to New York this year, I was inspired (yet hesitant) to jump into the art. But the first completion has whet my whistle. Can't wait to try the cake box book.
