The Studio on a Sunday

I’ve got some great new journal designs finished, just in time for the holidays!!
DSC_0703One of my favourites of the new designs; the Plaid Fancy Coptic Journal (pictured above).

These books are substantial, sturdy, and incredibly tactile.  Especially since the covers are plaid fabric!!!  Great for cozy sketching or fireside journalling.

DSC_0707You can find these books at the One of a Kind Show here in Toronto.  To see my other Fancy Coptic Journals online, go here.
