Endpapers are cyanotype paper with leaf patterns created from various foliage I foraged from woods around Washington state. Endbands are blue and green silk soie perlée, with a blue ribbon bookmark hanging from the top. The cover is hand foiled in gold foil (purchased from Rocky Mountain Leather Supply). Cover design is based on the window in The Obscure Distillery, with key logo in the center.

This weekend i decided to try to mke my first #hardcover #journal project.
Although i had some hard times, and lot of the cuts were not straight, i'm pretty happy with the result.
I made a free blog post on ko-fi with all the details on the process: https://ko-fi.com/post/My-first-hardcover-journal-E1E0ZY2WX
Below the picture of the finished notebook. #bookbinding #crafting #crafting #handmade #handcraft #handmadebook #handbound #artandcraft #stationery #diy #homemade #bookmaking #bookmaking #handmadejournal
