WOW! Thanks for all your comments, LOVE them! :D Just can't answer all everytime, sorry for that ...

I realised that the same questions came over and over so I'll try to use this space to answer them:

What is it?
These are journals, books - whatever you like to call them. Filled with blank, unlined paper.

Are they for sale?
Yes they are. I do have an Etsy online shop here: [link]
Usually I also include a link to each journal in the "Artist's Comments". Older ones may already be sold, though.

Can I see more photos and get details?
Sure! If you check it out in my shop, there are sizes and everything.

What paper is in it?
Usually I use smooth 120g paper that I stain with acrylics in a color that fits the book.

Are they handmade?
Yep, from scratch :)

What tools and material do you use?
Either leather (suede) and felt, or fabric (strong cotton canvas).
I use a sewing machine, an awl, a bonefolder, different inks, fabric paints, markers ...

How do you do it?
I found my own ways and methods. And I'm sure, you can too if you want. Sorry, but I'm a crafter, not a teacher. Much to impatient for that! :D

Do you take custom orders?
No sorry, not any longer. Unless you are a close friend of mine or a much loved, longtime customer.

Why does your english sound so funny?
Because it's not my native language. Heheh...
You can always contact me in German, I'm much better in that, really!
