This is a gold mine. Thank you for posting. I'm going to print some of these graphics to use as end pages for leather journals. They are perfect for book binding. #BookBinding

A handful of last autumn's handmade journals are still available and -5% until the end of the day 🍃

Feel free to take a look or and see if any of them are for you 🍀

Update! It's all done~ I may not be happy with the book block entirely, but wow I did so well with the elastic, and I love the colours too 👀

It's rather difficult to bind the book this way too, the covers aren't really well aligned. Next time when I do something similar it will be with coptic stitch with a new tool I'll be getting (excited!), which should align the covers a lot better.

🇫🇮 Hymähdin tuolle (Kauppasieni) kohdalle kuvaa ottaessani. Kaupastani löytyis nimittäin vielä mustasivuinen mustatorvisieni muistikirja.

Sammal-, ja puunkuoriaiheisia uniikkeja vihkoja löytyy muutama myös. 🍄‍🟫📜

🇬🇧 I still have this one mushroom pocket book and some moss and wood bark ones available on my site at my small corner of the internet. Feel free to take a look if you're interested 🌱🍄‍🟫📜

Picked up bookbinding again. This is a Belgian binding method that results in a book that opens up flat.
Covers are made with wallpaper, thread is cotton.

And here are the finished books! They're not perfect, but I'm getting a lot of practice. These are made out of junk mail that I've cut up and collated, and the covers are from food packaging. I'm thinking of putting these up in my Ko-fi store eventually, though it will probably be a while before I get store-worthy photos worked up.

Did a bunch of #bookbinding yesterday, and in order to make things smoother, I made myself a punching trough out of cardboard. It was way easy than I thought it would be, and it makes punching the holes in my signatures so much easier!
