Large Autumn Book One of a Kind Artist's Journal

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:46:44 -0500

$85.00
This is a one of a kind book. :)

7" wide x 10" tall x 1.5" thick

268 deckled edge pages

This truly is a beautiful book! It would make a great present for any artist, writer or avid journalist. Or even someone who just loves texture and paper :)

I bound this book in the old style of Cord Binding. This style is very durable yet allows the pages to open flat for maximum use of the pages. Deep Red Plum leather was used for the spine and I choose a natural Lokta paper for the covers. I embossed an oak leaf design onto the cover which really adds to the theme and texture of the book.

There are ten different types of paper used in this book. They have different textures and colors. They reflect the colors of Autumn, oranges, red, green, yellow golds along with creams and whites. Some papers are embossed with leaves or have inclusions of leaves and plants in them.

There are spacers throughout the book to allow photos or other inclusions to be added. The spacers allow the book to remain flat, without fanning out after you add things in.

FREE SHIPPING in the United States, Canada or Mexico. $10 Shipping Everywhere Else :)

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it :)

I made this book by embossing white leather for the spine. I added a strip of gray lokta and used a fun elephant print for the rest of the front cover. The back cover, inside endpapers and corners are the same gray lokta as the strip on the front. I really love this paper as it has an elephant feel to it :)

I added a light blue satin ribbon to save that favorite page you might come back to often (such as the page for vaccinations)

This book has 32 pages of everything you might need to record for your baby! It includes the basics of the birth date, mommy and daddy memories, when teeth come in, first vacation, family tree, first holiday, first birthday, special interests and more...

There are plenty of spots for writing information and for photos as well!

This book measures about 7" x 9.5"

A book your child will treasure later in life for sure. :)
