One Journal: Two Sizes

Introducing the Medium-Sized Leather Journal!  (Cousin to the regular-sized Leather Journal).  Some of you have seen these in person at shows, but this is the first time they’ve been available online.

I’ve been working hard on streamlining my leather journal collection, which has gone through many different phases over the years.  These are my favourite to date.  They’re simple, beautiful, practical and robust.  3 colours, two sizes, easy peasy!

See the full collection here.

This past saturday was the opening for the group show I’m in: Wunderkammer: The Cabinet of Curiosity.  It was curated by the Captain of the Toronto Etsy Street Team and all pieces included are of a science/nature theme.  I’m so proud to have one of my artists books (and paintings!) alongside so many other talented makers.  Scroll through the photos for a quick sampling of the work on display.
