Latest completed custom ordered leather journals. Personally, I prefer aging because it gives better contrast. But this time, journals are in a natural leather color tone.

My first rounded back book completed!

Covered in a leather-like furniture upholstery vinyl. This will be my bookbinding crafting notebook for jotting notes, ideas, diagramming.

Also had a chance to work in some ebru marbling I had tried out a few weeks ago.

This was *mostly* put together on stream. If you'd like to come hang out sometime I mainly stream in the afternoon Wednesdays and Fridays. https://youtube.com/@strangeaeonbooks7938?feature=shared

pages of the past, i think it is time for a new journal.

slow days like this 🤍🫶🏼

“When I read a book, I put in all the imagination I can, so that it is almost like writing the book as well as reading it - or rather, it is like living it. It makes reading so much more exciting, but I don’t suppose many people try to do it.”    ―    Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle
