journalez-vous?

I have finally gotten around to uploading some of my journals! How exciting! Making these journals is one of my favourite pass-times (I'm the coolest) and they are surprisingly easy to make. Take a look and if you like one enough to order your own, send me an e-mail or leave me a comment (you can always just e-mail me for fun too). Below are some pictures of the actual making itself.


Sew the Pretty Pages Together

Press them in a vise (aka my french grammar textbook...finally useful!)


Cut the Cover Board

And voila! A beautiful, 100% hand made, custom, hard cover journal!


So I may have oversimplified the process a tad, but it can be done at home, I swear! More photos of completed journals to come.

Ali,

I want you to make a journal for me. Not sure what I want it to be for, or about, just yet, but I'll let you know. These are gorgeous pieces of art, my dear. I can't wait to own one!

Love, Miss A zo
