I can't remember if I said this in a previous entry or not, but I've been teaching myself a few new crafts, one of which is bookbinding! I finished my very first book tonight! It's INCREDIBLY simple and there are many flaws, but it's only my first attempt! I will hopefully be creating more interesting and intricate leather-bound books with all sorts of fun embellishments in the future. So attempt #1:
I didn't have any proper fabric laying around but I wanted to finish the book tonight so I just grabbed a piece of an old, ripped up bed sheet :XD:
Anyway everything you see was handmade! I cut out all the sheets of paper, sewed them together, put together the cover/spine and then attached the signature block to the cover. It's not just a handmade book cover - the whole thing is handmade :) The cover boards and spine are made from the box that my new hard drive came in.. which is awesome, imo :XD:
