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:
- blank, non-lined paper (a must! also hard to find in notebooks instead of sketchbooks)
- a closure
- a hard cover
- 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:
