Red Linen

{ /books/coptic/redlinen }

A red linen cover to match the red linen thread. This book was bound in the Coptic style with two sewing stations (two pieces of linen thread are used--the middle of each piece of thread is hooked into the first signature). The end of each piece of thread uses its own needle meaning that this book was sewn with four needles.

The inside front and back covers are decorated with paper that was hand marbled by my mom, Maryann Thomas, some 30 or so years ago.
