🙎 I love making journals!
After several years of wandering in art - scrapbooking, card making etc. etc.- I found out that I love making journals! Any kind of journals - as long as they are sewed with one way or another and resemble books - not pamphlets or attached papers...... just books!
Thanks for visiting my shop - it is the second shop of my life - as for 20 years I had an mortar and pestle shop that was selling clothes in Kallithea Athens. Due to the Greek economic crisis, this venture had to come to an end, so here I am, having my new shop that combines both my passion for bookmaking and the skill of selling!
I love answering questions, so do not hesitate to ask! I am a perfectionist - I will never send a book that I am not satisfied with! Rest assured that you will get more than the exact words of the listing, so don't hesitate.
Just tell me what you need and I will make it for you. I ' m taking pride that since now, I have not a single disappointed customer, and I intend to keep this as a fact! I can make the book that will fulfil your needs, but as I am the creator , the finishing touches will be mine, so do not avoid answering questions. I am an artist, so you can leave the creative part to me!
Thank you for reading all this - I am looking forward making your next book or album, that will last for generations and will carry your memories a long, long way.
Thanks
Myrto

5 out of 5 starsI've been using this toolkit quite a bit since buying it, and I've made three case bound books already. It's very handy, and I highly recommend it for other novice bookbinders.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely gorgeous watercolor journal - perfect for a Perpetual Journal with one spread dedicated to each week of the year. The artist was incredibly kind, with gorgeous packaging and remarkably fast shipping considering it was coming from half way across the world!

5 out of 5 starsAll of the items were great, I loved having it in a lot so I could try this as a hobby without commuting to buying everything in bulk! The color of the book cloth is gorgeous, the thread even matched, it was so thoughtful!

My Studio is my happy place!
-
Before attaching a book block to its covers, I freehand something on its spine - a well wish, a song, a message.
-
There is space for my books to "cure" at their own pace.
-
I paint my covers by the window, so I can benefit from the golden Greek natural light.
-
My beautiful , vintage bookbinding press, bought from ETSY
Where mixed media meets bookbinding!

Owner, Maker, Designer
My name is Myrto and I live in Greece. Making journals is my hobby and my passion. After the sudden passing of my daughter Irinna at the age of 14, I realised that my most important possessions are her journals, so all my books are dedicated to her.
