I covered this thin book with Gelli printed papers probably a couple years ago now. Yesterday I made signatures and bound it, with my favorite two-section binding, the Lightning Bolt (see Keith Smith vol. 2). Two-section binding means both signatures were sewn at the same time; the thread moves from one signature to the other on the
outside of the cover, while moving vertically within each signature on the
inside of the book.
This journal's stats ~ 10-1/2 x 7-1/2 inches, 9 pockets, two foldouts, 56 pages (2 signatures of 7 folios each). I have another already-prepped cover, same size, that I'll be finishing off later this week, also with the Lightning Bolt stitch.

Cool stitch, one I haven't tried yet. These books are a great way to use up the piles of scrapbook paper that I just had to have and now never use lol. I like the colors in this one.
Ooh cool zig and zag. Lovely colors. xox
Amazing, Connie!
You are prolific and talented = wow!
Can't fathom the process but ...
surely appreciate the outcome! Bravo!
I love that binding!
You just keep hitting them out of the park! Another great book to put in your lovely library.
:-)
Love this one and the binding is so effective.
I love that lightning binding. I've never seen that before and it is so effective! What a fun book you've created. Wish I had time right now to bind a couple of journals....that'll come in January, I guess. You are inspiring me!
I love that binding - it's really eye-catching
These journals are so lovely ... the stitching is impeccable. I think keeping or using one of these journals would be an enriching daily experience ... places for thoughts, pockets for items so I can see why people are interested in buying.
