5 Handmade sketch art journals

It is ages since I posted, but I have been busy making art of one kind or another.
I have made some leather purses, and also some sketch journals.
Here is a sampling of the journals:

 

 

 

These covers were made with heavy book board, with page variety.



I have detailed descriptions on my Etsy…these were a pleasure to put together!
I will post a couple of my purses very soon.

Garden Journal page

I was playing with layering paper napkins, and added a cool ‘oldie’ crayon box.

Jungle Cat Journal

I just finished up making this journal which has a variety of papers for writing or drawing, along with some vintage papers from my collection. The cover is heavy fabric with a jungle print, lined with vinyl and hand-bound.
I am really enjoying making these books – whether paper or fabric based.

Notebook

This notebook showcases pieces of the Anaglypta wallpapers. I sprayed washes over them, paints, inks, and embossing powders. The letters are from a game. (I love those)

I then bound the covers and text pages with the stab bound stitch….so easy. If you click on the photo, you can see the glitter from the glass beads.
