Custom Coptic Bound Journals for Writing or Artwork.
These journals are bound with an exposed spine binding method called the Coptic Stitch. there are 2 wonderful features of Coptic Stitch bindings. The first is the decorative and unusual look of the stitching on the spine. The second is that it can be opened fully at any point within the book without distorting the pages. In a Case Bound book (like most books available), the pages are bent because of the inflexibility of the spine. Coptic bound books always open flat and easy to work in!
These books look delicate, but are very durable. They stand up better to mixed media techniques than case bound books in my own artwork. The waxed linen thread makes for a very strong and flexible spine. They are perfect for artists who will be using a multitude of materials in their journaling.
I have many colors and patterns of paste paper available. Because of the nature of a hand painted item, I can not always replicate a previous paste paper cover. Also, each piece of Burl Veneer is unique with its own pattern of grain and voids.
I love to take custom orders. If you have a preference of cover or page style, please let me know. Covers can be designed with personal photographs or logos as well. These make great luxurious gifts for friends or employees.
