Stab Binding

Oh my GOD why has that never come up? its so obvious! No signatures needed! You literally use straight paper for it. Just flat stacks of paper.

Of course you need to, yknow, leave space for the sewing but ohmygosh i waaaaaaaant

I want to try and use this for that fanfic i was gonna bind, i got super busy during the past couple months😓

The final edition of books for my Art of the Book II class. A video page-through can be viewed here. The book is a narrative based on the process of falling asleep and abruptly waking. We had to choose from Julie Chen's Artist’s Book Ideation Cards and create a book from it. It had to include text based on the process of erasure, be highly colorful, have a minimal layout, use a digital technique, have abstract imagery, use transparent/translucent paper, and be bound with a single leaf structure. Text:

Twilight Calm before the storm The night quickly approaches Lying awake, confined by all four walls Staring blankly You begin to drop down Eyes flutter Heart beats slow Emptiness washes over you Swimming with thought, they too fall away Dropping down Unaware of your surroundings Vivid images before you People Places Things Faces you can't remember A beautifully lucid thing Another drop A darker place You can't feel your body A drop Dark emptiness Eyes flutter Heart beats quicken Twilight again
