HAND COVERED BOOKS

 

The hand-covered books I create are a pleasure to own and a delight to handle and are covered with carefully selected fabrics including pure oriental silk brocades, fine silks, ribbons and cottons - all padded with cotton wadding for softness of touch.

 

The covers are permanently applied to casebound and stitched Seawhite sketch books and are available in two sizes - A5 and A6. 
Each consists of 90 pages (45 sheets) of archive quality acid free 140gsm white paper which is suitable for both wet and dry techniques.

 

Skilfully hand-made with care and thought, they do of course make wonderful presents for many occasions and offer a choice of use from travel journal, sketching, photographs, gardening, new baby to wedding book and probably many other uses thought up by yourself!

 

These hand crafted books are as follows: 

 

A6 (smaller book 11.2cm x 15.7cm)    either landscape or portrait format      

A5 (larger book  21.5cm x 15.7 cm)    either landscape or portrait format 

 

All competitively priced.    

 

If you would like to own one of these unique and  unusual books, please contact me via the 'CONTACT ME'  page on this website to discuss fabrics etc. 

 

Getting married - would you like to have a guests' book made to match your wedding theme?  Got a christening or special birthday coming up?

 

Why not enquire about my bespoke service whereby you send me your fabric, and I will cover the size/format book of your choice?

 

Regards

Ann
