Day 53-A Little Chinese Notebook

Yesterday's book, "From the Hungry i," was stitched with the single needle coptic binding. I've done this a few times, but I still don't really "own" this binding, so I decided to do it again today.

This is just a simple little notebook. Th covers are a couple of playing cards from a particularly lovely set with Chinese characters. I cut the pages from plain text paper--7 signatures of 5 sheets each--punched the holes and stitched the book with a waxed red thread. It's a handy size for dropping in a purse or pocket and feels nice in the hand.
