Altered Book
I am breaking the rules again for the last book. Today's book is not a binding exactly, this is an altered book, called Blood, Sweat, & Tears: 365 Bindings. I cut the basic shape of the textblock (well, my Dad and his jigsaw cut it) and then I made three sealed compartments in the textblock where those blood, sweat, and tears are now saved. It was hard to save those things literally; so, I used bookbinding materials to represent them. The blood is a collection of little red leather circles. The sweat is curls of blotter paper. The tears are thin strips of silver stamping foil.
So that's it. The end of my 365 bindings project, which is now called the 365 Bindings in 455 Days project!

Congratulations on your whole year of bindings! I've enjoyed seeing every single one. If you ever decide to write your own tutorials for some of the simpler bindings, I would totally love that.
thank you! Perhaps I'll write some more tutorials eventually -- I do think about that sometimes but never seem to find the time!
Now I can say congratulations for real :) Thank you for a year's worth od beauty, craft, skill and inspiration!

Congratulations indeed! You did it. ; ] And I am really going to miss seeing a new binding (almost) every day. I guess I will have to get my book fix somewhere else.
Wonderful job, and thank you so much for sharing all those handmade books.
Congratulations! What an enormous undertaking. This has really opened my eyes to the world of bookbinding. There's certainly a lot to learn about! It was fascinating to follow your journey throughout the year.
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for coming back over and over again, everyone! I am quite happy to be finished :D
