Over the weekend I had my first holiday craft show of the season. Usually on the day of the show I have a couple books that I just couldn't finish in time to put on display. Fortunately, this gives me something productive to do while I'm sitting at my booth during the show.
This time I brought along 4 unfinished coptic journals to finish over the course of 2 days. Usually I finish the covers, fold the signatures, punch all the holes, and cut a length of thread while I'm home in my studio, then I just need to sew the books together at the show.
I like doing this because it takes some of the pressure off the night before a show, is a great conversation starter at shows, and gives me a boost on inventory for that particular show, and a head start for future shows. With these four journals, I am up to 287 of my 365. That leaves me just over a month to make 78 more books! I better get back in my studio...
