@blickartmaterials Want a sketchbook that's truly one of a kind? ✨📖 Watch artist Brinn of The Ernie Studio create her own by hand, carefully assembling the pages and stitching the binding together using materials from Blick. For this book she used a binding technique called Secret Belgian binding which is different from Coptic stitch. With Secret Belgian binding the book cover is bound separately from the signatures with a weaving pattern. The signatures are then sewn into the spine of the finished cover. One of her favorite parts of this binding method is that the cover can fold entirely back against the other cover Comment STITCH to receive a link to shop the materials Brinn used, sent straight to your DMs!
