Bookbinding

A little over a month ago I took a coptic stitch bookbinding class at the Etsy Labs.  That was the beginning of the end for me.  Ever since then I have been completely obsessed with making books. 
Pretty much all day long I think about paper, themes, and different things I can do to create new books.  My biggest obstacle at this point is time.  I have SO many ideas and only two hands and a full time work schedule outside of the land of my imagination....

When i'm not working as a teacher I enjoy searching for old hardcover books to recycle and transform into books and journals for others to use.  There is such a ridiculous amount of paper in this world.  Why are we still chopping up trees by the second to make more, when we could recycle what we already have?
