Choosing the perfect buckle is difficult, with all of these to choose from!
(Thanks, again, Elis for the 'stash'!!)
Instead of a leather thong and a button...
...to hold the book closed this time...
...I used a wider strip of leather...
...and a buckle!
I also did my own thing while stitching in the signatures. :)
Here they are in place.
The finished journal.
Next time: I make an ominously monikered 'stab binding' book...
...with felt accents.

Bookmaking seems to be endlessly fascinating, doesn't it!
I love the kitty in the book punching cradle!! I did notice two hands on the kitty who may be posing reluctantly. Love the buckle closures.
Very nice. I like the buckle. :)
It's lovely Heather.. the fancy stitching looks great :)
Rachel- It appeals to the precise part of my brain. ;)
Kathy- Yes...'posing uncomfortably', I would say!! :)
Sandie and Deborah-- Thanks!!
