Long Stitch Journals

I love non-adhesive long stitch bindings when I feel like making something but I don’t feel like dealing with all the mess and time involved in making hard cases. Look ma! No glue!

These are an old standby from Keith Smith’s Non-Adhesive Binding I: Books Without Paste or Glue. Each one has approximately 64 pages of Mohawk Superfine paper; the weights and sizes vary because I was experimenting with folding down large sheets and using up whatever was lying around the studio, but the largest are about 4″ by 6″. The covers are Lokta Bark paper purchased from Hollanders.
