To write a life is to live twice. –Patricia Hampl

This is a custom hand-bound leather journal with lined recycled paper inside.  It closes securely with a pen and has the recipient's intials hand-stitched on the binding.  

This was a custom Christmas gift from one brother to another to be used as a sketchbook. It was made from reclaimed leather, recycled paper, and a belt buckle. It was 9 x 12 inches and has The Green Lantern's logo on the front.

 A graduation gift from a mother to her daughter who just received her PhD... 

This is a custom refillable leather journal cover. It was made specifically for a notebook that he was already using and just wanted to cover. It has his name hand-stitched on the cover and has a pen holder inside. 

Now adding personalized messages to a slightly larger size book necklace...just let me know what you would like in your's. They can be fun reminders to have close: quotes, sweet nothings, prayers, mantras, etc.  

 

This is a custom-made padfolio for a custom who emailed me a sketch of the design that she wanted.  I was able to do what she asked and included the teal design, a place for an 8.5 x 11 inch tablet/notebook, a pen holder, a sleeve for loose papers, and a business card holder.  It also has her initials hand-stitched on the front and closes securely with a heavy dut snap.

I created this scrapbook for a long-time friend who is living in Kansas for a bit. She wants to make her son a scrapbook with photos, notes from school, drawings, etc. They will all fit nicely in here. His name is on the front within the state of Kansas...and just for fun, the dot of the "i" is about where they live. I'm excited to see it once she has it all put together!

Large refillable notebook cover on its way to Hollywood!

(And yes...I somehow hand-stitched that in cursive...)
