Christmas sketchbook
I have had only the teensiest experience binding sketchbooks but so many of my online artist friends make their own that I've become intrigued.
The one I made this evening is just about as basic as it gets and can be put together in less than an hour. There are several accordion pages, a Christmas fabric print and ribbons to tie on the edge. My intention is to make it a dedicated book documenting Christmas activities and preparations. There are boo-boos, but they're minor and I'll attend to them when I make another one. Another one? Yes, I think I'm hooked.
This turned out really nice.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Scrappy cat, that turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just learned how to make these accordion sketchbooks, fun... but how DO you put them in a binder? Just put in one page permanently & have a place to slip in the last page temporarily so you can look at all the other pages or what?
Very nice! Beautiful, and inspiring, I am also longing to try to make a sketchbook of my own one day!

Lovely! It is really easy to become hooked!!
ReplyDeleteI love this. I need to start making some new books. I just finished another Coptic stitched journal that I hope to post to my blog later today.
ReplyDeleteWOW, it looks fantastic! Great job...
ReplyDeleteLooks fine to me.....nice work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking sketchbook! :) you could totally mass produce this and sell them and make millions ^^
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments.
ReplyDeleteJessica: I'm not sure how to answer your question. I've never put one in a binder. Instead, I just draw on every page and watch them stack up!
