This one was a gigantic pain in the ass to finish, so I'm going to tell you a story about it.
Once, I found a very pretty book at a library book sale:


But unfortunately, it had this inside:

So I cut the textblock out and started making a blank one for it. I decided to use these big sheets of nice paper I have. This was a mistake, because the big sheets don't fit in my paper cutter. i had to measure, fold, and rip each sheet by hand. I got 9 sheets from each piece of paper. 4 sheets = 1 signature. I needed 14 signatures.

So it took me two nights to make all the pages. They were wildly uneven, even after I trimmed them to fit in the book. Making endpaper was supposed to be no biggie, but that's how I found out my watercolor paper doesn't really stand up to watercolors.

I took the headbands off the original textblock. As a result, the spine is the neatest-looking part of my new book:

This was another experiment. It was supposed to open flat, but I didn't do it right. So its just a regular stab binding.

And I made this one for a niece's birthday present:
