    Leather journals handmade in Indianapolis, Indiana

    As a lifelong lover of books, reading and keeping a journal, bookbinding was a natural fit for me. I started exploring the world of book arts in high school at our local library by reading how-to books and absorbing all of the artist journals I could find.
    Later in college, I learned my first historical binding stitch and fell in love. I have been bookbinding ever since! Binding Bee officially started in 2008 when I opened up my Etsy shop and started selling at small craft shows around Indiana. Since then, it has grown into my full-time job, and I travel to art fairs around the Midwest and sell on Etsy. To see more details about my making process and samples of custom work, please visit my website: www.bindingbee.com

    Custom and personalized orders

    Custom imprints onto pre-made books in my shop take 3-4 days for turn-around time (expedited service available, just contact me). As soon as the book is completed, I will send you a photo proof to approve prior to shipping.

    All purchases include free basic wrapping and an informational card about Binding Bee and a thank-you note.

    If your item is a gift, I can include a personalized card with a message from you and use a special gift wrapping paper. Please leave those details in the 'note to seller' box when you checkout, or send me an Etsy convo.
