In case you haven't heard, I have hobbies a hobby. No big deal*. Just thought I would photo document it in case it seems like all I ever do is watch TV and read other people's blogs. So come with me, let's explore the world of bookbinding.
folding and poking
sewing and knotting
pressing and gluing
cutting and binding
paper choosing and measuring
more gluing and waiting
The finished product-- linen paper, bound with leather and a vintage map of Paris.
* It is a VERY big deal. Bookbinding class entails interacting with strangers in an unfamiliar environment and cutting things with an Exacto knife. Two fears conquered right there.

Holy crap! You're legit and I'm jealous.
Ooo!!!! Its pretty!!!
Fun! And looks great.
I love this more than you could possibly know. The book is awesome, yes, but the narration is what amazes me. Partly because I can hear your voice in my mind. And I can see you awkwardly in Book Binding Class alone...talking to strangers, like the man who wears a kilt/skirt. Perfectly fantastic. I need a hobby.
you are an artist!
Who taught you this?? I want to learn so bad! Beautiful work!
