Hand-Stitched

A variety of hand-stitched sketchbooks and journals. The Coptic Stitch technique is primarily used, but some of these examples incorporate French Link or Secret Belgian stitching. If you are interested in purchasing one of my handmade books, they are available at Trox Gallery and Gifts in Emporia, Kansas. You can also contact me directly for special requests.
