The Trans Canada Etsy Team is having an Autumn Challenge to make something that reflects the season. This is my entry - a handbound journal with a maple leaf and birch bark.

I cut a circle out of the front cover to create an enclosed window. The back of the window is lined with a piece of real birch bark, and then a small red maple leaf was placed inside before I sealed it over with a plastic transparency sheet. The birch bark is from a tree in a campground where I camped this past summer and there were big pieces of bark peeling off so I decided to claim a bit of it. The little red maple leaf, I picked last Fall from a tree near my house and pressed in a big book all year. The marbled paper on the covers is some that I hand marbled myself. There is also some handmade paper that I made, as the paste-down on the inside of each cover.

There are 192 pages (when you count both sides of each sheet) and the paper is blank, cream, unlined. The circle of marbled paper that was cut from the front is attached to the first page. The book is handbound onto ribbon which is tied on the spine.

Book size is 5½" X 4¼" and about 1" thick (14cm X 11cm X 2.5cm).
