Finally!

What I mean is that I've finally made a book that I'm proud of! After much learning and practising I've made this book using 100% recycled paper pages and a cover made of brown kraft card.  The leaf on brown background is actually a piece of handmade paper (but not handmade by me) and I think it finishes it off nicely.  I bound it by sewing using off-white cotton string.  I'm really proud of this book and I hope it shows that I made it with a lot of love and care.

If you would like to have it for yourself or as a lovely gift it is available here.

Handmade Oriental Style Book by Lucy Jackson

Hi,

I recently entered Lucy Jackson's Your Journal competition where she asked commenters to state what style or theme they would like for a journal and she would make a book in the winner's theme and send it to them.  There were lots of great suggestions and the one I chose was an oriental themed book.  I feel so lucky to have won because I love handmade books! Here is the book she designed and sent to me:

Isn't it beautiful?  I absolutely love it so thanks Lucy! I can't wait to fill it with all of my ideas and designs, although I do get that feeling now and then like I don't really want to put anything in it at all because it's so lovely.
