Variations on Coptic Journals
Today I’m busy binding books and keeping abreast of the ‘make everything in time for holiday shows’ schedule. But I’m also pondering this design from a couple of years ago. Specifically, the bound-in bookmarks, complete with bead and coin detail (or without).
Personally, I love bookmarks in my journals, for easy access to the next blank page. I think they also add a bit of a finishing touch and complete the experience of using the book. But what about in larger books? Sketchbook size? If you have any thoughts on this, I’d love to know! Leave a comment below.
