Although I have made a number of boo...Hi Elizabeth,<br />Although I have made a number of booklets with Japanese binding I had to check Saddle stitch and Coptic Binding to fully understand how you are binding your fabric book together. Very educational, thank you!<br />The covers have been beautifully dyes with onion skins and indigo, and I am sure a splash of colour will be good for the pages. It will be interesting to follow your progress.<br />As for punching holes in paper and punishing one's fingers instead of staring onto a seaside scenery, that sounds like stress relief. Maybe you needed to do it before you could settle down and relax...? The result is fantastic and you might have got the inspiration from dazzling sunlight or sturdy plants growing in golden sand on the beach...<br />Did you visit a wine drinking country? If so you could have taken a cork from an empty bottle and stuck the eye end of the needle into it, thus making a finger saving paper punching tool.<br />Give your sore fingers a rest in December!<br />Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.com
