My handmade journals combine my interest and experience in drawing and painting, ceramics, and book making. Decorative themes range from leaves and flowers to subjects from my recent travels and studies.
Each journal measures 5 ¾ inches high by 5 ¼ inches wide by 1 ½ inches depth of spine. Each has eight sections composed of three folded blank sheets of cotton paper and a hand painted watercolor and marbled section cover. Book covers vary from ceramic to book board to folded papers. Book board covers are decorated with paste papers with an inset of a ceramic book plate. The sewing is the Coptic stitch using waxed linen thread. Prices range from 85-
to 150-.
