Coptic Bound Books by
Lisa Bonilla Panter
All the books are made with wooden covers, Nepalese paper, and sewn with linen thread. They are embellished with windows and doors, found objects, metals etched by the artist, and either left blank, constructed into a box, or filled with watercolor sketches, collage, or mono prints done by the artist.
