Even today it remains the binding of choice of many Asian countries due to its simplicity, effectiveness and cost. There is also the added benefit of being able to bind the book with ease after the content has been written; this is due to the fact that single sheets are used for the binding and no folding of the paper is required. This is an important factor to consider when choosing an appropriate binding method. In the modern world, Japanese stab binding is perfect for group projects where people submit their own work. No glues are used in the process of making a stab bound book and whilst the traditional method speaks only of using soft materials for the front and back covers the stab bound process does lend itself well to modifications and variations. It is possible to use hard covers with the integration of a flexible cloth hinge near where the book is bound. Good results can be had using this technique but it is a little more complex and perhaps not overly suitable for the beginner.

Do you know that your hands can be a magical tool for your health? According to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), your hands are like a mini-universe that reflect your over health. From the reflexology, your hands are just like your feet that reflect your internal organs and spell the layout of your whole body. By stimulating the certain parts of your hands, you can give your internal organs a good massage and even get rid of some stubborn health challenges that have been bothering you for a while. For example, the neck issues, today more and more people are suffering from the stiffness and discomfort of the neck. Why? Because we are so busy with our little cell phones and tablets all day long and forget how to live. Do you know that your poor neck has to support such a heavy head that is about 10 to 12 pounds on average all day long? No wonder many of us are experiencing the headaches and shoulder pain without knowing the victim is the neck. Did you pay attention to the messages of the pain and soreness from your neck? If you bend your head to 60 degrees, it adds almost 60 pounds to your neck; your hands even have the trouble to lift such a heavy load. How to reduce the neck pain from your hands? Very simple! What about the stomach discomfort such as heartburn and indigestion? Your hands can come handy to relieve these stomach issues. Your hands can do lots of tricks when it comes to the simple remedies for your health challenges. Let’s dive more into it.

I love making little books and I've made a whole collection out of the different Graphic 45 paper lines. They are only 4 x 3 and could be used for notes, small picture or quotes. So far I haven't done anything with any of them except make a case to hold them! I made this one with the new Bird Song collection and used a chipboard frame for the front. Inside pages are quick to decorate because they are so small. I cut out some lanterns and strung them on some black twine. Here is the back cover. The little corner pieces are from the new Spellbinders Marvelous Square dies. Here is a link for the tutorial on how to make these little cuties: http://www.g45papers.com/pdf/SusanLuiMiniAlbumTutorialGraphic45-2.pdf Stamps: All Night Media - Bamboo, Penny Black - Love and Luck (on inside pages) Ink: Cat's Eye - Lava Black for edges Paper: Graphic 45 - Bird Song 8x8, body of the book made with a 12x12 sheet Other: Spellbinders Marvelous Squares, G45 Bird Song Chipboard Tags #2, metal coin
