One of the only people who practices and teaches 'onionskin binding'. He had this to say about the binding technique:
"The onion skin binding was born from playing with the idea of guards in photograph albums. I have always found these intriguing and to be a potential design feature. By trying to merge separate guards into a single, continuous one, I ended up with this special pattern. I then adapted it for single section binding (image), and I am currently developing a multi-section variation."
