A quick look into April, the print unfortunately didn’t turn out so well but with a bit of colour on top, well it looks weird but whatever 🙂 There are still a few other months. In the end it’s not about how pretty the journal is, it’s not a competition, it’s just that it works.
Today I tried my hand at bookbinding again. Since I don’t have a press, I wanted to bind this little sketchbook without having to glue anything.
Coptic binding would be a solution, but the individual sections are too far apart when I want to work with colour in the book. The cover is made of paper leather, which I discovered the other day while shopping in the art supply shop. It’s all a bit crooked and lopsided, but without a hatchet or something similar, it’s more of a sketchbook with character.
Addendum:
if I don’t glue it, the gaps are relatively big, I think I’ll leave it as it is anyway. Maybe I’ll adapt the drawings to the book 😀
