"This is parkour. Internet sensation of 2004. And it was in one of the Bond films. It's pretty impressive. The goal is to get from point A to point B as creatively as possible so technically they are doing parkour, as long as point A is delusion and point B is the hospital."
Allright, so book binding isn't quite as exciting or dangerous as parkour, but the way I see it, the more creative you are with it, the better. I'm just learning, some of the different bindings and techniques, but I have had a lot of fun trying to come up with creative ways to do this. For example, I just learned how to do a coptic binding, which was way fun. Traditionally, it looks like this.
I played around with the sewing stations template a little bit and this is the result I got.
Before I made this book I decided I wanted a beefy book. Lots of pages. I also wanted small. Evidently they don't work so well together as the book board isn't weighty enough to hold the pages down and together. The center picture shows what the book looks like it it's "resting" position. I think it's kind of funny, but nevertheless, I shall continue to work on it, adding a clasp of some sort. I'm never done with anything.
