Everything is stitched together along the spine with ‘buttonhole binding” making a decorative pattern, using a yellow cotton, thick bookbinding thread.
Covers are handprinted paper in a design inspired by a traditional Japanese motif and silkscreen printed by myself, using gold ink over red.

As for paper
I like to experiment with different bindings as they all have different properties and feel different to use.
This type lays almost flat on the table and gives you room to add pictures and stick additions onto the pages
