Project: Make your own coptic-bound sketchbook or journal

Please post your project. You may add additional projects to your project page. Every time you add a new project in any of my classes, you earn an entry into the current month's contest. I draw the name of the winner on the first day of every month LIVE on Instagram. I will post the drawing time on an Instagram post on the morning of the drawing. The time will change due to my frequent travel and lack of cell or internet service. The winner will receive a free month of membership to The Artist's Journey.

Materials:

Paper for pages - You will need a minimum of four signatures. Each signature is made up of four sheets of paper, folded and nested, one inside of another to create an eight-page signature.

Bone folder or Sharpie Marker

Front Cover

Back Cover

One strip of Graph Paper or Plain paper

Pencil

Hole punching tool

Ruler

Metal straight edge

Heavy Metal Square if you are tearing large sheets of watercolor paper to make your signatures
