Locked Down

Having completed my triptych journal I decided that it should be bound into a book.

My journal is printed on fine art matte paper and the cover is made from Nepalese Lokta paper that has been waxed to give it an aged look. Finally it has been hand- bound with Japanese stab binding. I have made stab bound books before, but the challenge this time was to make a hard backed version with a flexible spine.

Here are a few sample pages.
