This was my first ever completed handmade book, finished in 2009.
Covers are stiff matboard and are finished with found materials, ink, and gel medium. Pages are 65 lb acid- and lignin-free archival cardstock, bound in six signatures of four sheets for a total of 96 usable pages. Binding is waxed linen thread in a Coptic stitch pattern. In total, about five man-hours of work.
