Inspiration and Where to Find It

A little fun with time lapse...

I was excited this afternoon to complete my study of four-hole, Chinese style book binding from the text Japanese Bookbinding by Kojiro Ikegami. So I dove right in and made another small book. This one with the various called, Tortoise-Shell Binding, named after the resemblance of the stiching pattern to the pattern on a tortoise's shell. You might have noted that I constructed my books such that they open on the right hand side, rather than the Asian style with the binding on the right. Unfortunately, I find the traditional Asian opening to be somewhat confusing for me to use.  However, it did mean that I had to be very careful in following the examples so that I didn't accidentally flip the back and front of the book while in construction.  The finished product is picture at the right and the process below.
