Long Book with Girl

Today I thought I'd show you another one of my long books with copic and long stitching.  It measures 10.5 x 4.5 inches.  I got the pictures from an old children's book.  Each signature is wrapped with a fancy cut decorative paper or a vintage book page.
This book took about 4.5 hours to make.  I felt like it was worth it!

  • Stamps: none
  • Ink: none
  • Paper: Decorative Papers from Binders and from inside a vintage childrens book, 60 lb text cream speckled  paper for inside pages
  • Other: chipboard, waxed blue thread, awl, PVA glue mixted with methyl cellulose

Long Books

Here are two of my favorite "Long Books" I made last year from paper I got at Binders. The binding is called the long stitch but I call them Long Books because of the height.  The green one has some coptic stitching as well.  They are 10.5 x 4.5.
These books take 4 to 5 hours to make.  But, they are worth it!
