Handbound Coptic-Stitch Sketchbook I made for my friend Holly’s 21st birthday :) (Colors in the photograph have gone a bit funny, the vintage bird paper is actually a kinda warm buttercream yellow.)

River Birch Journal by Michelle Skiba

“This rustic journal measures 6 inches by 3 1/2 inches and is 2 inches thick. The covers are decorated with the peeling bark of a river birch tree. The inside covers are brown distressed wood. It is bound in a variation of the coptic style so will lay flat when open. It contains 144 pages (front & back) of heavy weight acid free paper perfect for writing or sketching.”
