"I believe that what truly matters in the making of art is not what the final piece looks like or sounds like, not what it is worth or not worth but what newness gets added to the universe in the process of the piece itself becoming."

So, was it worth the efforts? I've seen a video on the coptic binding, too, and I have the same urge to do it. Is this a subliminal mind control thing?
Yes, it was worth the effort. It was deeply soul satisfying to know that I could make something from nothing with my own hands.
As I was stitching away, I imagined some gnarled old man in the Middle Ages working at the art of bookbinding by candlelight. Somehow knowing that it's been done this way for centuries made me feel more in harmony with the time-space continuum.
Yes, it was worth it, not for the book it produced, but for the process.
And, Yes. :)
