Green Scrap fabric book

This weekend I organized my bookmaking supplies and found the 4"x6" fabric book cover that I was going to bring to a workshop to use as a sample. Instead of adding to my stash of unfinished book covers, I decided to make a book. It's been since I have sewn a book. I cut up some Blick's White Sulphite Drawing Paper then used waxed white linen thread to sew in the signatures with the Gather Long stitch and Link stitch. I'm finding that attaching a ribbon to use as a closure adds a nice detail. This ribbon is navy but looks like black in the photos.
