This one of a kind blank book is created from real, vintage, Bingo cards and reprinted illustrations from a vintage children’s primer.
It is filled with a variety of fun papers to write or draw on. This includes 100% recycled banana and cigar papers, 30% recycled Strathmore drawing paper, a selection of ruled and grided papers, as well as vintage papers from discarded library books. The cover is lined with a “this book belongs to” page, and also includes a little library pocket for tucking treasures into.
(Read about the process of how to make this book here!)
“If you’re intrigued by the art of book binding, but aren’t quite sure how to get started, Erin Zamrzia of Erinzam has you covered. Not only does graphic designer Erin make beautiful little books, she introduces the art via a handy kit that shows exactly how to sew a long stitch binding with a single thread. The exposed stitches of this particular binding create a pretty pattern of parallel lines.
If Erin’s kit whets your appetite for book making, she is the author of At Home with Handmade Books, released just last year, that details twenty eight beautiful projects created with ordinary and repurposed materials.”(via allthingspaper)
