In the article “At Home in the Wild” in the Winter 2018 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors, Lisa Ellen Evola shows how to make a nature-inspired book with cut-out pages. Instructions for how to bind the book are included in the article; the diagrams one and two provided here illustrate how the two signatures are sewn into the cover.
Lisa’s handmade journals tell stories of her experiences, both real and imagined. In the Winter 2018 issue, she shares an adventure she had in the wilds of northern Michigan.
Here we share pages from a holiday-inspired book Lisa created, featuring the same techniques.
