Handmade recycled sketchbook

For a really long time I’ve been wanting to learn how to construct and assemble my own sketchbooks, and last night a fellow artist decided to share the knowledge. This is only the first attempt but give me a while and I will perfect my own personal style of book making. It’s a pretty cool process. This book was made of old shopping bags I’ve been collecting for a few months.  Originally I was going to use the paper for some sumi ink drawings but now it went towards the book.
