The Etsy Bookbinding Team blog had an interview with Swedish bookbinder Sebastian Alvarez the other day. I quite like the sewing on the front and spine for the one on the left. There are more in his Etsy shop with envelopes for the text block, and others with collaged covers.
After reading this post I ordered one his notebooks. It just arrived today (Nov. 5th)…I was SHOCKED at how beautiful it was!!! Amazing to touch and hold…and when I opened it and found the pages made of old envelopes and stationary with all sorts of foreign stamps attached…I was dumbfounded at the gift I had been given…And very inexpensive for the wonderful thing that it is…as a book maker myself…I was in AWE!!!
