Description My first book to test drawing on cloth

Materials I've used :
- Unbleached Cotton
- Taiwan Fine Smooth Canvas (red) as the back cover. Very thick and good quality.
- Red thread to bind the signatures together.
- 12 signatures (36 pages, white papers), 120gsm.
- Purple beads at the side of the book to give a more oriental feel.
- Silver book corners.

Size of the book 15.5 cm x 22 cm. (Width x Length).

Designed the cover of the book myself and hand bounded with care.

The book cover is drawn using :
- Artist Sketching Pen Alcohol-based permanent Ink (Sepia)

I have tested the cover by adding a bit of water on it. The pattern does not smudge.

This book comes with a mini keychain attached to it.

If interested and you want to know more information on the book, please note me

You are most welcome!
I think you should! I know I would definitely be interested!
Do you put lined papers in there for a journal or blank pages for a sketchbook??
I really like this ones design and the little charm makes it that much more special!

shirua In reply to RaisloverSakura [2012-05-23 06:09:41 +0000 UTC]

I haven't tried putting lined papers into my books yet but I'm planning to give that a go to make it as a journal. Still planning on that
Right now my books are all blank pages so that others could choose to use it as a sketchbook, notebook or even a photo album.

RaisloverSakura In reply to shirua [2012-05-23 15:43:01 +0000 UTC]

Oh how wonderful!
I think a notebook/sketchbook/photo album is lovely!
I imagine it would be hard to put lined paper in unless you got some heavy duty lined paper as it can be quite flimsy!
Thanks so much for answering my questions! Really do love the journals!
