Little Brother

I made this long-stitch binding in dark brown suede as a present. The endpapers made of a printed map (reproduction of a manuscript). Sewn with Finnish hand-spun linen thread. The closure is made of the same Finnish linen, ending with beads of bone, wood and shell.
This book fits snugly in the hand, and its soft materials and flexible binding add to the warmth…I just wanted to stroke the book like a little animal!
75 x 55mm

Write, draw, glue, paint…and when it’s full, start a new one.
