About this item
This quarter bound book has been created using traditional bookbinding methods, it is completely handmade, all papers have been: cut, folded, sewn, rounded and then cased by hand. I have made the spine book-cloth out of a washed out cotton fabric (recycled bed sheet), which I have dyed with Indigo. I have then carefully smocked the spine with indigo dyed thread in order to embellish it. The book boards are covered with a quality olive pastel paper (canson mi-teintes). This book contains 115 pages of assorted recycled or scavenged papers and 5 handmade envelopes. Measurements: height 15 cm width 11.5 cm and depth 2 cm ( approx: 6 " x 4 1/2" x 1") Your book will be sent via 1st class recorded delivery. International shipping is via tracked airmail
