How to Cover a Sketchbook

A few days ago, I received a call from a delightful women out in Massachusetts. Kim had ordered one of our journals, but had a few questions. I'm so glad she called. It turns out that what she wanted, was not what she had ordered. Kim was looking for a refillable journal that could double as a sketchbook cover. We don't currently sell refillable journals, so we custom made a sketchbook cover around her specifications.

The cover was made from genuine leather

The slips for keeping the journal in place are designed for a 6x9 sketchbook;
 however, they are snug enough to hold a smaller size.

We added a canvas pocket for holding art supplies.

Love this wood button.

The cover was designed for a 6x9 sketchbook,
holding 80+ pages of 80lb drawing or mixed media paper.

It's amazing how often we end up doing custom orders for people. It's one of my favorite parts of the job. Books and journals are such personal items; it's rewarding to tailor them to individuals, plus, it's fun.
