Leather journals
Something different for a change!
I enjoy working with different materials as long as I can get them. Some are bought while traveling, some are gifts from friends and some are handmade.
Good materials makes the best creations. But you need to feel them and know them in order to work with them. It can be very challenging. So it is wise to study them before using them because it could be difficult to find them again.
For these leathe journals, I wanted them to be simple but nice to hold them in your palm. A small journal that you can put in your bag or carry along lightly.
When you open the journal, I have some written notes for the writer.
I added some color around the block book to match with the leather.
Writing is personal and fun. You can write on them and one day in the future, it could be fun to read them again!
Enjoy and treasure each moment!

Bamboo book
I love making handmade papers especially using flowers and leaves. For this book, I decided to try with bamboo leaves. They are so exotic and delicate.
And they are so strong like the Japanese proverb ‘The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists’.
On the pages there are sayings about bamboo leaves. I love to let the person who writes on these pages to find it interesting and to get to know about the bamboo tree and their leaves!
In the middle of the book, I have included a beautiful photo printed. And of course, they are bamboo leaves and the image makes you focus and on the green color of the leaves.

Nature in bookbinding
Nature is full of beautiful and colorful leaves. They are everywhere and without doubt you can use them in many creative ways.
For this project, I used them to stamp images on the papers that I later used to make my books!
You can easily use them on ink pad to create images and they look really nice.
