More Notebooks



As promised a couple of weeks ago, some more of my books.  They are all made from scratch with paper and card as before, but I've used different techniques for each of the covers.
The largest one is hand embroidered on silk paper.  The one with the bookmark is painted on cotton, using a wax resist and the third one is made with scraps of fabric from other projects machined on to scrunched up brown paper.
One has been made traditionally with a spine, as before.  The other two have softer covers.

  1. These are great Naida, do you sell them anywhere. I love the one with the sewn scraps on brown paper, looks like stamps.

    1. Thanks Gill,
      No, I don't sell my stuff. Some of it goes into local exhibitions, but most of what I make is for my own use.

      I had a quick browse around your blog, it's great. I love the idea of all those challenges.
