Notebook - Black, White, and Orange Collage Stripes
The method that helped me first discover my artistic side was collage. I took a class and loved it and saw it as something I wanted to work and improve on. What better way to do that but combine it with my new artistic love: bookbinding.
This notebook is 6.25" by 9", contains 20 pages (40 sides), and is bound using black nylon (that I reused from an old book bag). The text block is sewn using a simple pamphlet stitch and then glued into the cover. The cover is what makes this book special. Each cover - front and back - is made up of strips of paper I took from a collection of different writing styles through the ages. I then glued each strip of paper on to create an overall striped pattern. The front and back covers are done with the same pattern but, of course, are a bit different.
I'm proud of this piece of work and hope that it will bring you joy as you use it as a journal, sketchbook, place for your poetry, a collection of quotations ... it has so many uses!
