A new undated planner now up on the site! 60 weekly spreads, blank monthly calendars at the front, empty graph pages at the back. All with plenty of room to schedule things your way.
I just added this beautiful rainbow journal to my site. Photos do not do justice in showing the intense shine of the gold and silver on the cover. Feel free to check it out along with all my other beautiful handmade journals.

While I work through my current orders, here are two custom journals that I made a couple of months ago. They were ordered with split inserts which give the recipients lots of options when they're using them.
I'm always open to help you design the perfect stationery for your needs. Just send me a message!
Just another little single section hardbound notebook. Follow the link from my profile to see all the details!
Now available is this cold press, watercolor journal. Working with watercolor paper is so different from any other paper I usually work with. This cold press paper especially. But it's great making these journals with a coptic stitch because they lay flat when opened.
I like imagining the kinds of beautiful spreads that an artist might come up with in one of my journals and it makes me happy.
You can find more details on my site.

Here is another of my latest case bound journals. Isn't this cover paper just stunning? The silver of the background leaves and the fine gold outlines are so eye catching.
This journal is a hefty one, with more pages than my usual journals. The inside is also made with a beautiful, laid finish specialty paper. A laid finish was originally created by the screens used while making handmade paper. These sheets are machine made, but they still have the very fine horizontal texture this style is known for. As well, this paper is made for use with fountain pens, so it's perfect for use with inks without bleeding through.
I hope this journal can find the perfect home with someone who appreciates fine stationery! Visit my website for more details.

This double case bound journal set with a slip case is something I've wanted to make for a long, long time, but never had the courage to try.
I was afraid of failure, of wasting supplies on something that wouldn't work out. Of not living up to the pressures I put on myself. But with the appearance of the spring sun and the shoots of new green growth outside my window, I decided that I needed to try even if it all went horribly wrong.
But it didn't. It didn't go wrong. Instead it turned out better than I ever thought possible when it was just a scrap of an idea.
I'm very proud of what these two hands have made, and the potential for so much more yet to be tried.
📦 Available.

I'm so excited to announce that it's now even easier to get your very own custom Rice Paper Designs journal!

In addition to your cover paper, you're able to select the size, type of pages, color of thread, and even add on extras like an elastic closure and bookplate.

While I try and wrap up a few exciting new things to share at the end of the week, please enjoy this double bind I did over the holidays. The story is co-written, and both authors chose the same cover paper just in different colors. Typesetting this one was very enjoyable.

There are only a few more days left to get all my ready to ship items half off. This journal is among those still available. This cotton paper from India is so thick and beautiful. It makes such a fabulous cover! #bookbinding #bookbinder #handbound #handboundjournal #journal #notebook #sketchbook #stationery #ricepaperdesigns #handmadebook #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CaaqIjdPHrc/?utm_medium=tumblr
Just highlighting another cute journal that's still available. I'm a big fan of landscape journals, but because the pages are unlined, you could easily use this as a top flip journal as well! This along with many others are available for half off on my website! #bookbinding #bookbinder #journal #notebook #sketchbook #stationery #handmadejournal #handbound #ricepaperdesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ9sOgvrqTZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
This beautiful journal is half off on my website. I can't believe it's still available, that paper is just so decadent!

These little envelope books let you keep organized while still giving you lots of room for your thoughts! There are 10 envelopes divided by 10 sections of plain sketch paper. They are a lot of work cutting and glueing all the envelopes, but still so fun to make. This one is still available (and half off!) on my website. #bookbinding #bookbinder #envelopebook #scrapbooking #gardenjournal #journal #notebook #sketchbook #handmadebook #handbound #handmade #ricepaperdesigns Sorry for the repost, one of the photos didn't upload correctly 🙈 https://www.instagram.com/p/CZwrXAGL9iy/?utm_medium=tumblr
Just a quick post to highlight this journal that's available on my website. What makes it so special is the blue, hand cut paper envelope at the back, lined with a beautiful metallic grey paper. It's half off until the end of the month, so grab it if you want it! #bookbinding #bookbinder #handbound #handboundjournal #journal #sketchbook #notebook #stationery #ricepaperdesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/CZrruoDL1Os/?utm_medium=tumblr
During my social media hiatus I had the huge honor of making a custom binding for an author, commissioned by their friend.
With permission from the author we created two copies of the binding, one for the author and the other for the commissioner.
It was wonderful to take their story and use the themes to inspire not only the drop caps and printers ornaments, but the cover papers as well.
This was a dream job for me, as I do all the design work for the pages as well as the binding. Seeing the whole project from start to finish is some of the happiest kind of work for me.
