These were a set of journals that I made for christmas presents. I had some crappy leather, bought at a discount from deprova leather..cheap because it was crappy, one surface had a nasty texture, but the back surface was a lovely suede, it also had a nice edge, I cut the covers to take advantage of the raggedy edges of the leather, as much as I could.
I stained them pinkish with printer ink as it was thin enough to soak in, without clogging the texture of the suede or making it stiff.
I
glued some sari fabric on the back and then did a stitched binding,
adding in a few scrapbooking pages for interest. I decorated the fronts
of each one, slightly differently. They were time consuming, so only
very close friends got one!
