My Journal's on Etsy

My latest journal is now finished and is listed in my Etsy shop. This one features quite a few of my original graphics, as well as lots of hand stitched fabric pages. I've used a slightly different way of stitching the signatures into the spine, which enables the journal to hold it's shape very well. I don't get attached to my journals but this one would be one of my favourites.Below are just a few of the pages as there are 172 pages in total, that includes both sides.

Very playful and full of joy Ro. Dare I say, your work is becoming even more lovely.

Maggi said...

Absolutely gorgeous. I don't know how you can part with these but I'm glad that you do.

Heather said...

Another book full of gorgeous happiness Ro. I couldn't bear to use one as an actual journal - it would be sacrilege to sully even one page with writing or drawing.

Its absolutely beautiful, how can you bear to part with it.

Emma said...

Beautiful work, I love your journals & I think you could turn your hand to a wonderful artist's book, too. Both have their place, just google 'artist/s books'......you'll see ;)

Your colour sense is so fabulous. I especially love your spreads of the stitched trees and houses in this one.

Jo Murray said...

A beautiful treasure you must find hard to part with.

Absolutely stunning, Ro! I have visions of trying to make a journal in a similar vein only using my eco-printed fabrics & papers.

You mention a new technique for attaching your pages/signatures.....care to share?

Also, will your 21 Day cover any techniques for binding or is more art focused? It looks like an amazing group of gals and fun course - but I've been burned a few times lately with online courses. I guess I'm hesitating and need an encouraging nudge. :)

Wonderful to see the pages in this journal! Isn't printing with gelatin the most fun?! Bravo!
