This week Stefanie Girard at the Craftside blog posted a fun easy to follow tutorial on how to make
a mixed media pocket travel journal, featuring author Jeannine Stein.
Jeannine Stein is known for her book Adventures in Bookbinding: Handcrafting Mixed-Media Books in which she teaches how to make mixed media books out of a variety of materials.
Her other book is Re-Bound: Creating Handmade Books from Recycled and Repurposed Materials which teaches basic book binding techniques and has some fun projects for the reader to make. Re-Bound has 16 pages of patterns and templates, with excellent step-by-step directions that include hand drawn illustrations. The book serves as a book binding primer for anyone who is new to book binding or just interested in the process. Jeannine also includes some great repurposing book binding ideas that will inspire anyone to want to try their hand at making a book.
If you have ever wondered how to make a handmade book or just like working with paper, then the video posted today could just be the answer. The video gives a short "How To Book Bind" tutorial that shows the viewer how easy it is to make a fun multi-media pocket travel journal with a pop out map (although you could substitute some other paper item in the place of the map).
Note: if you look between Stefanie and Jeannine,
you can see the cool re-purposed purple Guittards chocolate box book she made.
If you prefer written directions, Jeannine also wrote a great step-by-step tutorial of the pocket travel journal which Stefanie has also posted on the Craftside blog. Below are some pics of other handmade books that Jeannine Stein has made.
So check out the video and leave comments to let the publisher know what types of videos you would like them to to put on YouTube ( I will forward any comments to the publisher).
Disclaimer : No payment received for this post. Stefanie and Jeannine are friends of mine who I think are really talented and create some pretty neat stuff.
