Binding

Lots of thinking and what came out?

This. There is even a spine. Inside I fixed very narrow strips

which are drawn through a kind of crocheted eyelets and knotted loosely -

I could easily add more pages. There are six at the moment.

Beads at the end of the strips to give some weight

Turning over a page it looks like this - 

Detail of a page - I love the tunnel

.... and the toggles

.... and the bullion knots over a length of gimp.

     It was a wonderful class.

In the shop they call the shqpe "POTC hexagons" - which means

Pachwork Of The Crosses -  but why?

it will be a sample
