Overview:
Two handmade craft volumes come together in one thoughtful, beginner-friendly collection. Bound 15 Beautiful Bookbinding Projects guides you through turning simple materials into lasting keepsakes, starting with essential tools and materials and moving through a curated menu of projects. You’ll follow clear, step-by-step instructions and learn a range of cutting and folding techniques, culminating in multiple binding stitches such as ladder, dash, and chain. The projects gradually build confidence, helping you master spine construction, endpapers, and finishing details that give each book a professional feel. In Botanical Inks, discover how to transform foraged wild plants, garden produce, and even recycled kitchen scraps into dyes and inks. The book demonstrates environmentally sustainable colour extraction and shows you how to apply natural hues to textiles, paper, and other materials. Together, these two titles form a complete, eco-minded pathway from raw material to finished art—perfect for makers, journal enthusiasts, and gift-givers who love tangible, hand-crafted objects.
What Makes This Collection Special:
These two titles complement each other beautifully, bridging the physical act of making with the art of colour. Bound 15 provides practical, technique-focused instruction with a clear progression—from simple cuts to more complex bindings—so you can steadily improve and complete a range of projects that feel heirloom-worthy. Botanical Inks expands your creative palette with plant-based dyes that are sustainable, nuanced, and versatile across paper, fabric, and art. The set invites extended reading and hands-on practice: learn the fundamentals, then apply new skills to cover design, endpapers, and decorative pages. It’s also a wonderful gift for creative friends, students, or families who want a cohesive, two-book journey into traditional bookmaking and natural dyeing—a collectible pairing for home studios and classrooms alike.

Botanical Inks
Botanical Inks reveals how to turn foraged wild plants, garden produce, and even recycled kitchen scraps into vibrant, natural colour. It explains practical methods for extracting pigment, preparing fabrics, papers, and other materials, and how to stabilise hues using simple mordants.

The project ideas fuse with everyday creativity—from dyed papers and handmade wraps to embellished covers for your bound books—offering a sustainable, tactile alternative to synthetic dyes. This title is especially appealing to eco-conscious makers who want richer texture and nuance in their art without sacrificing environmental responsibility.
