I’ve made the smaller mini-journal which I mentioned yesterday. It’s 1″ by 1″ (the minimum size for the swap), with 5 2-sheet signatures.
Another small journal, this time for the swap-bot “The Coptic Stitch” group “Size Challenge #1″ swap. The journals must be no bigger than 3″ in either direction. This one is 3″ by 2.3″. I’m going to make a much smaller one for my partner, but that will be too small to be usable, so I thought it would be nice to make her one that is only just inside the size limit too.
This book has 5 signatures, each 5 sheets of 90gsm paper. The cover is a Japanese paper called Ukigumo, which is waterproof and can be heat-fused to the background surface. The spine is Tyvek lined with mull fabric. The sewing thread is Gutermanns Sulky Cotton 12. The inside papers for the covers were cut from a Rococo chocolate bar wrapper.
