A few weeks ago, I temporarily bound various watercolor paper folios in a leather cover. The folios are held in with elastic bands; after filling the whole book, I can sew them together and add a permanent cover. Then I can fill the leather cover with new paper.
Then I saw this small leather notebook cover . . .
It is made to hold ID, credit or debit cards, and a removable notebook the size of my Field Notes sketchbook. Instead, I took the watercolor paper strips left over from the full sized leather-bound journals and made a accordion-fold journal that’s a perfect fit!

Beautiful and brilliant!
ReplyDeleteMy lazy way of working on my own paper choices! The larger ones will still be sewn together later and I’ll probably glue a hard front and back to this accordion paper, but until then the leather is good protection.
