A sunny day to be creative

Been making something new for a change since I love to try new things.
This time I decided to make a portfolio holder.


It is completly different from making a book but it was a lot of fun and it is so nice to be able to make things that I can use to organize my papers and sketches.


Another item that I created is this lovely bordeaux color leather book. The beautiful exotic  black paper inside is a paper that I really love and decided to combine with this leather cover. 

Besides it has a long leather strap to secure this palm size book.

My signature

After thorough thinking and designing my logo stamp in my mind, I have decided on this one:

Besides, on the last page of each of my books/journals, you will see this beautiful text that I have written just for you:
Hope you treasure each handmade book because the whole process of creating them takes time, patience and love. It is an enjoyment of zen feeling.
I believe each one of us should have our own personal book so that we can put some beautiful memories into writing. After some years, you will want to re-read your past memories as if it were today!
Enjoy your life and treasure each moment. 
Most of all, do remember to have fun.:0)

It is a clean-cut style and simple design.  Feels good just holding in your hand. Imagine when you start writing on them!
They come in four colors - black/brown/beige and red.
Besides each book has its own matching bookmark!
