Check it out, we started french binding this week and I'm pretty excited. These are my favorite to make so far:

I'm going to experiment and try to make something a little bigger too. What do you guys think about custom sketchbooks? Good idea, bad idea, whut? I could pretty much make whatever this way. Like, even character-themed books! But I still have a couple more binding techniques to learn. We're doing Japanese stab binding next week, which I'm pretty excited about! Keep your eyes peeled for new stuff and let me know what you think about the custom sketchbook idea!
