So this, while a bit flaw-ridden, is not a bad first, considering how many obstacles I erected for myself.
And it opens nicely anywhere, the big advantage of the Coptic binding.
I know better how to proceed now.

First steps in Coptic stitching
It's best to learn this binding using bigger, sturdier, pages and stiff covers. I didn't do that, miniature size, soft tapestry covers, and handmade unruly pages.

Too cute. Looking forward to seeing the others assembled.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
ReplyDeleteA sweet little book. I almost called it a "thing", but no, it is a real book.
ReplyDeleteIt's real. The pages open flat, as Coptic promises. And it could be marked in. But probably it's best as an artwork.
ReplyDeleteHaving postponed learning Coptic binding, trying another idea, taking it all out, then finally just doing it, I find I can't wait to do it again! Funny how that happens.
Fantastic book.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have more learning to do, but it's getting better.
Deletewell aren't these just too cool. I see it's been way too long since I checked in here and I did scroll through about 6 or 7 posts.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed them. I'm very happy with how this is going just now.
DeleteI attempted coptic binding once and swore I'd never do it again. It's ideal in your application though, tricky as it is to create.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like it because it answers the problem of getting extremely small books to open. It's cooperative. Once you get it done.
