Mountains

binding


binding close up



word to the wise: when attempting this binding, do not make your zig zags so close together! I blame insomnia for the sheer amount of holes sewn in this book. It is a modified Coptic. on the cover is my study for my Alaskan mountain linocut (here in action) overlaid onto a teal ink cover

  1. It seems to have produced less stress than the Greek binding, and still look gorgeous. It's too bad that the close-together zig-zags are so difficult though.
