Coptic Stitch
This book is a coptic book made to look like a Japanese Stab binding. Because it was made as a wedding gift, I wanted it to open flat the way a coptic opens, but because the bride and groom had both spent time in Japan, I wanted to style it as a Japanese binding. The solution was to have Japanese-style stitching through the board as ornament, but not through the actual text block.

I’m addicted to looking at pictures of your work,
I don’t know why I haven’t seen any of your stuff before, I feel silly for never asking, everyone said your books were brilliant.
Lindsey, you’re so nice! This is fun to be able to share photos with people.
You are so talented, I love looking at your work. I can have hours of fun trying to work out how you do some of these bindings :)
omg… your work is beautiful. is there any way you might be able to give me some tips on how to create one of those books?
Thank you! I might get some tutorials up eventually, but for now I’m unable to find the time. Sorry! :(
