I made this book in the early days when I was playing around with different sizes. This book is 4.25 inches wide and only 3 inches tall, which is about an eighth of a letter-sized piece of paper It uses a multitude of different kinds of paper, including some thicker flower-pressed paper.
The pages are entirely blank, good for notetaking or doodling. I mainly like the aesthetic of this book. The cover fabric follows the flower motif, and I used the elegant French link stitch to bind the book in green waxed embroidery floss.
It’s a hardcover book and has quite a few signatures—having more signatures is better for the French link method. One drawback of this book is that the signatures are quite thin (only 5 sheets each rather than the standard 10 I use) so the book is a little floppy. It makes this book more suited to aesthetic than function.
