The pages are a combo of French-English dictionary and sheets from a lab notebook. I used a three-hole pamphlet stitch to bind them into the covers, which I lined with some of the tea bags.
One of my favorite pages (and a peek at the lining). I played around with using stencils in the dye bath; the results were middling, but this one turned out pretty cool.
Mine does, too . I probably thought about the post title for too long because of that.
The stencils really only showed up well when they were centered under the (much smaller) pan I was using to weigh the stack down. Which is fine; I was using stencils I didn’t care as much about anyway, so I wasn’t invested in those patterns, and I’ve learned something for future projects. But, yeah, that one was the big winner.
