My bookbinding team on Etsy put up a challange to design a book for Halloween. I haven't been working with coptic stitch lately, so I thought a journal would be nice. I pulled out this moon paper and went to work.
I stained the outside of the linen thread with the cranberry ink. I choose this new moon inspired paper with the dark tree branches to give it that spookiness and appeal to those twillight fans and zombie lovers.
Inside I used a crackle paper on the inside cover. I had a spooky tree stamp so I placed it on the first page in the same cranberry ink.
To add another unique element to this new moon journal, I took simular printed paper to the cover and stuck in the center and quarter signatures.
I really enjoyed this challenge, and look forward to creating more journals in the future.
I started out with 12 gray signatures. Each signature has 10 pages. I stained the edges with cranberry ink.
Then I stitched all the signatures and the covers together using a natural shade of linen thread.
I really enjoyed this challenge, and look forward to creating more journals in the future.
