Coptic Binding

The past few days I have been sewing up a couple of books, using pages I put together from junk
papers that I had sewn together months ago.
 
I sewed one book in the usual method I use, using tapes
on the spine then covering the spine with bookcloth. the other I decided to be adventurous and sew a
Coptic Stitch.
 
 
 Two days later and a lot of un-doing here is the result.
 
 
 

 
 The cover is made of book board onto which I pasted papers, a postcard, painted, distressed and matte varnished.

 
I am happy with the end results, though a bit a practice is needed to perfect the stitches!
