Handbound Book [SOLD]by *shirua

Artisan Crafts / Folding & Papercraft / Bookbinding & Bookmaking

Thought I would share this book that I've made with everyone.

Materials I've used :
- Natural Washable Craft Paper Fabric as the cover. Imported from U.S.
- Taiwan Fine Smooth Canvas (black) as the back cover. Very thick and good quality.
- Sea Blue thread to bind the signatures together.
- 16 signatures (48 pages, yellow and white papers), 120gsm.
- Satin green ribbon as a closure for the book. It is attached to the book.
- Silver book corners.

Size of the book 15.5 cm x 22 cm. (Width x Length).

Designed the cover of the book myself and hand bounded with care.

The book cover is drawn using :
- Fabricolor twin pen
- uniPin Fine Line Water and Fade Proof Pigment Ink (0.1)
- Artist Sketching Pen Alcohol-based permanent Ink (Sepia)

I have tested the cover by adding a bit of water on it. The pattern does not smudge and the "fabric" does not soak up like normal craft paper.

SOLD

If interested and you want to know more information on the book, please note me

Pre orders are OPEN.

I am currently making a book and I would like to know where you got the thread. The design of this cover is amazing? And where did you get the silver corners? Do you know a website where I can buy the materials you used for this book?

I've gotten my threads from regular fabrics/thread stores outside. However you can check out this website [link] to find some threads and also silver corners. Hope it helps
