2024 has come and gone... and since I had given myself a challenge to upload something to social media every day I ended up with a lot of artwork... so I thought I'd better bind it to keep it all together.
I recently saw a buttonhole binding - something I haven't made in several years... so thought it would be perfect to hold all my 2024 artwork not including Scribbled lives artwork - that's a different binding..
I adhered 2 pieces of 110# cream cardstock with a 1" strip for the spine. Created 2 more to give me 3 folios (12 pages). I created 7 more (total of 8 x 12 pages).
Trimmed and adhered artwork to the pages trying to keep it in date order... but that was impossible since some were small pieces of artwork so had several different dates on one page. c'est la vie...
The covers were made from regular cardboard from boxes and covered with a collage of various designs of cork fabric. I wanted a thick cover and was too lazy to pull out my sheets matte board or foam core. Inside of cover adhered a piece of the cream cardstock to keep it neat.
Bound with butterscotch 4ply waxed linen thread in Buttonhole stitch.
Added a metal ornament to hold the title on the cover and book corners to save those edges...

Good heavens, Yogi, the binding is a work of art itself! This looks so professional, and the peek at the artwork inside is tantalizing. You have an amazing collection!
