I can’t live without my notebook. I keep it open on my desk at the office and scribble dozens of random numbers/thoughts/tasks on it throughout the day - from wire transfers I have to send to doodling while I’m on the phone with my grandmother for 30 minutes without having a chance to say a single word. It’s the type of tool that can’t be replaced by my iPhone’s notepad…

When I saw this post by Gaws I knew I had to get something like that printed. Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how to get this done easily in a single edition, so I went for the next best thing - a notebook slip cover in a standard Moleskine size. I sent the photo to http://www.engraveyourbook.com/ and ordered it on one of the natural covers as just the engraved phrase along with my initials on the back. A few weeks later and this is what showed up at my door. Even though the black leather would’ve looked more appropriate given the tone and dryness of the title, I decided for the natural tan leather for its future color and marks. I can’t wait for the light brown to wear in and darken with age, it’ll proceed to look better and gain character, and not disappoint.

I worked on this sketchbook off and on for 5 months, and realized I didn’t really like anything in it. -so, I ripped the inner pages out, and replaced them with found paper, then drew all over the book for 14 hours. This is how it turned out. (It reminds me of my “pen-pal” days.)

Something long forgotten. 

A tiny book, bound with love on a sunny summer afternoon three years ago. Sent back and fourth from California to Rhode Island, between my ex-boyfriend and I.

I don’t know what made me think of it today.

Nonsensical play. I’ll be creating more windows later.
