Beaded exposed stitch bindings

I've been playing a little with exposed stitch bindings, adding a few beads in the stitching for a little embellishment. The covers are made from Saint Armand handmade papers, which are made in Montreal. They are wonderful handmade papers--very beautiful and strong at the same time. I enjoy working with them. I've used Canson 70lb drawing paper for the pages, so they can be used for little sketchbooks or journals.



I've added two of them to my Etsy shop.
