Three small japanese stab bindings, with birds.

Japanese Stab Binding

Here are a few books sew with the Japanese stab binding technique, taught to me by my friend T (Unworn World Studio).

little trees. Simple Japanese stab binding. Fall 2008

beet. The dark blue beet is a stencil cut from thin paper and silkscreened onto the front and back of this book. Winter 2009.

Thinning brassicas. This image came out of a lot of sketching I've been doing for my printmaking class. I've been thinking about hands, work, and the many tasks hands perform. Modified simple Japanese stab binding. Winter 2009.
