Bound by hand - Erica Ekrem

Learn to craft 21 Old-World-inspired journals using repurposed materials and items found in nature. Instructions for creating accessories -such as a bookmark or tassel - and using decorative inking, stamping and stitching techniques are also included. Each journal is designed for a specific purpose or personal hobby in mind. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and illustrations, as well as a comprehensive basics section, will give even those new to bookbinding the tools to get started. Plus, each project comes with prompts and suggestions to inspire you to fill the pages you just stitched together. You'll make a book using stones, a refillable booklet perfect for a prolific writer, a nature journal with a strap that you can throw over your shoulder and many other beautiful works of art.
