Notebooks

This summer, I started making my own books. I really love my Moleskine, but I wanted something with the same design of different sizes, distinct appearance, and varying page count. I need to tell one notebook from another.

From my moleskine design, I kept:

• a closure
• a hard cover
  
• pocket
  
• a bookmark ribbon
  
• and hand-sewn pages that lay fully flat

I added:

• unique cover art
• varying page count
  
• wider page width

I have made about twenty now, and I gave most away as gifts. This is my most recent and some of my most favorite work:
