Little hand-stitched book of small fiber test prints.
Something something Sunday tenderness.
October 2020.
This is my little handmade book made out of some of the test strips that I have collected from the darkroom. Sometimes I find them more interesting then the actual print. Maybe because they show us the possibilities...and I feel less restrictive in my choice of the final exposure. Giving the image more freedom.
The cover - carton with a little belt

First time with coptic stitch...it seems those pages do want to be together for a little while.
