362nd day of 2021.

Got it printed on 150gsm paper, and stitch it up.

Planner - Envelope 2

354th day of 2021.

Use some cheap craft paper and test out the different way of flap over.

Japanese Bind - Leaf Pattern

272nd day of 2021.

There are many different pattern for side bound.

Book Binding - Single Link

271st day of 2021.

I don't really get the name of this binding, from the shape looks more like intertwine.

Book Binding - Single Chain

270th day of 2021.

I like all simple binding.

Book Binding - Single Dot

258th day of 2021.

Structurally, this stitch method used a back bone system that I first try.

Book Binding - Single Interlace

257th day of 2021.

There are a variety of single binding pattern to practice on.

This is Interlaced, where string loop over on the outside in interval without looping inward.

Magnetic Accordion 4

222nd day of 2021.

Quickly redo another one with a thicker size, added extra magnets on the side, so it can be open and form as a spine.

Magnetic Accordion 3

206th day of 2021.

Cutting out the large watercolour paper, this is Moulin Du Roy of Canson...

The paper is so thick, the cover could not close. I have to redo another one for a thicker space.

Magnetic Accordion 2

205th day of 2021.

A lot of hitting today, punching grommet and tying the bands.

Magnetic Accordion 1

203rd day of 2021.

Started to make the accordion booklet cover with magnet.

Shaker Cover 03

170th day of 2021.

Finally finished layering with glitters and sparkles inside.

However, it seemed like some defets, next time may consider to:

1. Use a thicker transparent layer

2. Avoid having layer crevasses inside, as the thin glitter got stuck to it.

Shaker Cover 2

164th day of 2021.

Bought a few sizes of rhinestone flat, sticking them together on the plastic sheet. Also stick 2 rhinestone pieces together so it is shiny on both sides.

The brighter light seemed to reduce the graininess. But due to the plastic reflectivity, I don't like how it turned out.

Shaker Cover 1

163rd day of 2021.

Long time ago, had a plan to do a shaker type cover for a book binding project. Only now started to do it in the weekends.

The first photo I take with the new Samsung A02s that I bought last 2 months. It is very grainy and terrible compared to my old Sony compact.

Mini Notebook - Grey Booklet

5th day of 2021.

Felt that it can still fit 2 more booklets and figured to add in some coloured paper booklets.
