Well I made 3 hand bound journals yesterday. Am happy with the results. I'm well into decorating covers for 3 more journals. Two of the journals are Zutter coiled, painted canvas, hard cover journals. Love this style. The other is a whimsical one, using pistachio nuts (yes I made one last year, but it was in white and different), and real gold leaf and painted with acrylics in a technique learnt recently. Click on any image to go to that journal to see descriptions and close ups etc.

Wow, these are beauties! You've been quite artistic and busy lately!
Yogi, all your books are fabulous!!! Love the grungeboard hinges!!
I often see your name on ArtCricket2's blog so I decided to take a look at what you have going on here and may I say, I'm highly impressed. Don't know what happened, but I wasn't born with a creative bone in my body. That doesn't keep me from enjoying the beautiful work of other people. Never think of Calgary that I don't remember the '88 Winter Olympics.
The canvas covering is a clever way to hide the coil. I've got zutter journaling equipment and found that it's a great way to recycle leftover mat board from framing artwork.
This work is lovely... I shall be back... thanks for yournice comment on my blog
