A project of mine for 2025 is to really work on my bookbinding skills and art book practice. To do this I’m challenging myself to create one bookbinding project a month… and here is the first finished project!
Technically this project started in November last year when I thought of this goal… but the whole project required four books total so I’d say it still counts!
These books were created around the idea of “Seasons of Gratitude” and to have a journal for each of the seasons to express what you are grateful for.
The endpapers are watercolor paintings, and the covers are hardcover flatback binding structure. Looking at the end result there are a lot of small imperfections I hope to improve on as my journey in bookbinding continues.
The long term goal is to write and illustrate a book, but for now I have lots of small project ideas to keep sharpening my skills! Check out the progress pics at the end of the slideshow!
