Journals
I started binding books in the late 2000’s. Mostly I bind in a sort of mixture of 14-16th century style bindings with the use of some modern material. I find this style to be elegantly simple, as well as incredibly durable. I have used some of my books for years, and though dirty, they hold to the rigors of living in the back pocket of a hitchhiking wanderer!
