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.

I bought a liter can of extra virgin olive oil cold pressed from ancient olive trees in Jenin, Palestine, sold by Handmade Palestine.

After it was delivered to me, I decided to upcycle the packaging the oil came in by turning parts of the box into a little coptic stitch notebook. The pages are from paper scraps that a friend gave me. It’s nothing gorgeous, but I’m quite pleased with it.

Another #bookbinding experiment last sunday, tried #coptic-stich this time. As usual I did several mistakes, but i like the final result.
The book is #hardcover with a #zelda picture in the centre.

🧧 Lunar New Year Coptic Stitch Journal 🧧

Here are some still pictures of my new coptic stitch book. The cover is black marbled paper, with a cutout to display the lucky red envelope my mom gave me this year for Lunar New Year.

I think this book took five hours from start to finish.

Some photos of a book I made for a dear friend of mine. The concept was that I make the drawings and she text, poetry in this case. (She’s a writer.) I was pleased with the result so far!
