Greek Binding Plus

Sounds suspiciously erotic, eh?

But, no, Greek binding is a cool-looking binding that I'm thinking of doing. Here is a pic from the Feather Edge site. Also, according to Keith Smith's Volume III book, it should only be done with ten signatures or more.

To get the full effect because the binding appears to twist in the middle. As soon as I print out my 2012 diary/journal, I'm going to attempt this binding.

I've been looking at Smith's diagrams and pictures of the Greek binding and, while it seems complicated, it also seems quite do-able. In fact, I just watched a video of a Japanese stab-binding wherein the woman in the video said, "The best part is, it looks complicated when you're finished but only takes a few minutes to make." You can check it out here:

I think... At least, I hope ... that a Greek binding will also look complicated but isn't really. We shall see, eh?

But so far, I've only just finished working out a 2012~2013 calendar/diary/journal that begins its year in April. I want to finish soon but my day job is also requesting a few hours of my time ~ talk about whining.
