I took a print experiment by Lisa and her friend Tessa from the discard pile and bound it into a vertical notebook:
I discovered that bookbinding—cutting, folding, sewing—takes more strength than I imagined. I did it, but it took my right arm to its current limits.
The bookbinding was a little rough around the edges, but, boy oh boy, was it good to be back.
