Handmade Books and Bindings
Posted in DIY, Things of Beauty by evie s. on April 1st, 2008
Handmade books are some of my favorite things. While my husband (yes, he is creative too) was attending school at the University here in town, one of his fine arts classes required him to make a handmade book. The result was this miniature creation, entitled The Moon, complete with story and photos. The book is perfectly bound in a cardboard cover and the pages are folded in accordion style.
Inspired by this little book that I rediscovered yesterday, I did a search to find my favorite ideas in the area of handmade books and bindings.
From left to right:
Italian Recipe Book by angelaliguori - Each book is an accordion book structure, with round corner and baker twine closure. [ Via coolhunting ] // Woodgrain and Wool Journal by NightjarBooks - hand bound using reclaimed book board, covered with an off-white, woodgrain-textured paper.
The Owner of the Bow by angelaliguori - Hard cover accordion book // Map Notebook [ Via AliceCho.net ]
Pocket Journals by yellowcraftychick - All the books have been sewn through the middle with black linen bookbinding thread and tied off with a small bead in the center. // Mini Accordion Book by mame*
