Ru Temple Design Studio - Hand Bound Blank Journals
p>
Welcome to Ruth's hand bound blank art journals!
| All my journals are made from decorative papers or
my handpainted silks
on sturdy book-boards, coptic stitched with at least five sections of paper, to show
the beautiful chain-stitch effect of the binding. Coptic stich bindings are among the
oldest codex book-binding forms, and lie perfectly flat when open, making them
ideal for art journals and sketch notebooks. This is an exposed-back binding, so the
back of your papers show; this binding form naturally has a little natural wiggle, and
you can pick up the book open between sections and actually peek through it! great
for library spying... This is a wonderfully sturdy and beautiful book form, which is why I have chosen to make these books in this form, to best show the materials and work. Since these are hand made by me, no two are exactly alike; you may special order books like the ones you see here, and order books in my current favorite papers for covers and text block papers below. | |||||||||||
