Finished book


I finished binding a new book, and the shoulder strap is long enough for me to wear over my head. This way I can bike with it and I won't need to carry a bag.

The cover fabric is a really reflective jacquard weave, and I made a strap from an old satin necktie. The strap closes itself with a magnetic clasp, (which is easy to repurpose from an old purse.) I plan to use the strap to hold pens against the book.

This endpaper is reused giftwrap in a gumball print. Most of the pages are blank sketch paper.

This endpaper was acquired in the Philippines, and most of the papers on this side of the book are graph paper.

  2. I love this! Especially the gumball print. An over the head book strap is such a good idea.
