Smorgasbook!

Day 93/365Untitled-4

It’s a book smorgasbord!  A smorgasbook, if you will!

Take a look some of the lovely handbound books that have found new homes over the last few months.  Maybe one of them is now yours?  I’d love to hear your favourite journalling topics and techniques!

An Old Favourite

Day 35/365SNC00065

A close up of some leather book spines from my earlier days of bookbinding.  These were experiments with stitches along the spines of soft, leather journals.  They started my love for trying new binding techniques and combining the best parts of bindings together, like my more recent Starburst books.

Crisp Transition

When the air gets that autumn crisp and I know winter is not far, I often think of these journals.

They are a warm and cozy light brown leather, with the last bits of summer brightness captured in the beading detail.

I don’t have any in stock right now and I have made a few variations of these books.  But I enjoy the spontaneity and uniqueness while designing and crafting each book (no two are alike).  I also love the bead work and the pop of colour and sparkle on the spine.
