White Dragonfly Coptic

I made a small blank notebook with hand-backed cloth, Coptic binding, colored thread. Maybe 160 pages (10 signatures of four sheets each). I think it came out quite well and was a welcome respite from books that require glue (casebound, for example).

Renewed Notebook

I made a blank notebook about three years ago and, being poorly constructed, it gradually fell apart with use. So I remade it, this time under expert supervision. Handbacked cloth, link-stitched, white endpapers, and a new and thicker book board. I also added three signatures of brown paper because the notebook was 75% full of doodles and doodads.

Below you can see the back and front plus some of the brown paper signatures that were added. And some of the doodling done for imposing content. Not that the content is imposing but I'm planning on printing out a novel and the content (a novel) needs to be imposed before I bind it. See? Good.
