Coptic bound journal

My second attempt at bookbinding! Glued a bunch of Scrabble tiles together from my grandma's copy of the game, then brushed glue on both sides (it warped and i thought it was ruined, then flattened overnight), then i drilled four holed a half inch in, bought a pad of drawing paper and cut it to size and punched holes in six signatures (five sheets each) and bound it together using the Coptic binding method. The second to last hole ripped, but I couldn't bring myself to unbind it and start over, so it'll just stay that way.
