I was at the Center for Book Arts the other day to trim some papers and they have some interesting exhibition going on right now, I had to snap a few photos… The above and below pictures are embroidered notebooks. Everything was made by hand, even the pattern on the cover is all hand embroidered! It was so awesome to look at every details…
