Coptic-stitched

It's been a long, long while since I made coptic-stitch books. I like making them, it's just that the elapsed time is much longer. Think... stick cardboard to patterned paper for covers then press, stick end-papers, pen-knife cut/fold papers and arrange into folios, punch holes in covers and papers, sew, press again. Each book takes a few days so I usually make them in batches.
I like the larger books this round 'cos I managed to find 3 different shades of pink. I still haven't mastered the camera's features to represent the colours correctly. Looks beige, ya?

Have a blessed evening!
