Books from my class yesterday

We made two different types of books.

The turquoise one is a japanese binding, with hand-made paper cover.

The sunset colored one is a coptic binding. See the neat stitches that hold the covers & pages together?

It was tons of fun learning to do these! We tore the paper instead of cutting it, so it has kind of a raggedy, soft edge, which was fun.

See what you think!
