I have been itching to use the Greek Stitch. It is beautiful, stately, and substantial--a variation on Coptic where it links three signatures down (instead of one) which creates a thick braided look, and the book is sewn in two halves that are secured together with a figure-eight in the middle. It requires a large amount of signatures, so I used it on this gloriously fat wedding guest album for Olga Starr of OS Photography.
Wonderful Erin! It sure is a fat book, they must have loads of guests! The stitching is exquisite, you seem to have mastered it already! ;) I'm also working on a wedding guest book right now - all fun and games!
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise! Somehow your comment on Sea Change got lost in blog world (showed up in my email but not on my blog) or else I would have responded--what I was going to say is it would be VERY tempting to have you duplicate the "sold journal" mentioned (I seriously think I've even dreamed about that thing) but I'm a starving artist and can only afford one treat at a time :)
DeleteI'm heading to the post office today to see if my butterfly journal arrived! Can't wait! It's already traveled around the world... how fun! :)))
A superb book... and great stitching!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo!
DeleteI wasn't suggesting that you ought to order and buy one - I'm terrible sorry if that came across as such! :0
ReplyDeleteOh not at all--and who knows, maybe someday I'll be a "Bibliographica" collector ;)
