Spineless print with corduroy supports

My first foray into the world of no-spine books. I think that's how coptic binding is supposed to go, but I've always felt the need to support my books. I do like how the thread looks on the non-spine, but the book feels a little flimsy to me.
  • turquoise, brown, and gold printed fabric
  • turquoise corduroy spine supports
  • 100 pages
  • white acid-free paper
  • exposed brown embroidery thread
  • about 6" x 5.5"


Purple Corduroy Present

So, it actually was a gift. And oh, how hard it was to part with it.
  • purple corduroy cover
  • blue polka dot fabric stripe with yellow polka dot ribbon
  • button embellishments
  • 200 pages
  • DCWV Crafty cardstock and DCWV Doodlin' Around cardstock
  • about 6" x 5.5"

    Corduroy Blues

    I sold a few journals awhile ago and finally got some pictures back. The picture quality isn't great, but I'll flaunt my creations anyhow.
