I have recently discovered the art of coptic binding, and have taken a liking to it. A great way to use up recycled papers that would otherwise end up in the trash, and useful too! It's gotten a bit to the point where I have more journals and notebooks than I could possibly hope to use, but I enjoy the binding process, and it's a great craft to bring with me for something to do when I get bored. At any given time I have a crochet hook and ball of plarn, or a needle and paper in my purse to do a little crafting on my breaks at work or while I wait for friends...
Here is one of the books I have been working on lately, along with it's new owner....
This one is made out of the cardboard CD covers from a CD I bought recently:
I have also been making books from old records, although I have no pictures of those ones to share as of yet. My next book making endeavor includes neon coloured floppy disks (anyone even remember what those are?!)
