The pamphlet stitch stapler is far superior to the long arm stapler. #zinetruth #zines #zinestergram #pamphletstitch #longarmstapler https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WGluABFov/?igshid=1fps26kfy8lfb

Non-linearity is central to my thesis work. Naturally, the book structure was a perfect way to establish that. Here's showing a dummy I created for my thesis book. It's a twist on a classic pamphlet stitch binding that allows for four natural points of beginning. I really enjoy the fat signatures! #bookbinding #pamphletstitch #bookmaking #fatsignatures #thesisbook #thesisbookmaking #pamphletstitched #pamphletstitchbinding #nonlinear #graduatethesis #graphicdesign #bookdesign #publicationdesign #bookdesignexperiment (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVZTBKCsuij/?utm_medium=tumblr

So this is what an epic fail looks like. It might not look like it in this image, but swipe to see where it all went downhill. Firstly, I tore the cover trying to fit an eyelet tool over it. I decided to cover it with a red card stock and include a spine (as it was going to be a Coptic stitch binding). Once attached, the end of the spine still had exposed grey board, so I tried to cover it with orange washi tape. Then I started to cut down my signature (pages) to size and my blade was blunt and subsequently ate the paper. Determined to finish it (and not just lob the whole thing in the bin), I settled on a pamphlet stitch bind and discovered there’s too many pages in my signature and the book won’t actually close. Currently, it’s being held close by a hair tie and is now in a cupboard because I do t have the heart to throw it out. It will serve as a reminder of what NOT to do in book binding… But also as a reminder NOT to give up. I swore at it, was furious at it and wanted to set fire to it. But I persevered. Now, onto the next project. . . . #bookbindingfail #bookbinding #pamphletstitch #mandala #handmadebook #handmadejournal #winterandthemoon #doitfortheprocess #artwitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CTTvpNuLSdf/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is an easy little book made from a #kleenex box. I used a simple #pamphletstitch and covered part of it with a photocopy of one of my art pieces. I also used #washitape. This was created during a #handmadebookclub community meeting. The best part was seeing #alimanning s creative take on this book with many variations. @vintagepagedesigns There were so many different ideas shared by the members. 📚 (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTK8O3rvyGF/?utm_medium=tumblr

From pulp, to paper, to pamphlet stitched books. I absolutely loved my first week of teaching. My students were highly creative and very excited about making a handmade book for the first time. I’m so proud of their work 😍#handmadepaper #handmadebooks #papermaking #papermakingworkshop #pamphletstitch (at Del Ray Artisans) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EZcANghfl/?igshid=c69r0rr4s75y
