To create the cover prints, I used recycled hemp paper which has a lovely texture.
The inside covers are handmade Nepalese Lokta paper, in a pale blue.
The book is stitched together with Williamsburg Blue coloured Irish Linen waxed thread. This is the best kind of thread to use for bookbinding, because it doesn’t stretch, so your journal stays firmly bound, no matter how often you open and close! I know … I use my journals every day!
I used Coptic stitching to bind the book together, which means that the book will lie completely flat when opened, which makes it perfect for journaling or sketching. It’s also the best kind of binding for the left-handers out there! No spine getting in the way!
What is a journal?
It’s your story, your history, your present moment.
It’s a gateway into who you really are and how you really feel.
It’s a place to play and a place to get down to some serious work.

Full description
Hi! I’m Lizzie, the woman behind Redheadwondering Hand Bound Books, and I created this gorgeous journal because I really do believe your words are worth it!
The covers for this pretty hand bound journal were made using original cyanotype prints, and feature Black-eyed Susan daisies from my English country garden, and wild Ox-eye daisies. Daisies make such lovely subjects for cyanotypes.
Cyanotype printing is a wonderful form of alternative photography, where you use the sun’s UV rays to develop the print. I always use flowers as the subjects for my prints, and sometimes I add some extra ingredients … for this journal, I used Ferris Wheel Press FerriTales Ink - Tumultuous Tides and a few sprinkles of gold ink to add a bit of bling. I also used salt in the wet cyanotype developing process, because this gives a wonderful crystalising effect.
This gorgeous, floral journal would be the perfect gift for any woman … for her birthday, for Christmas, or just because she deserves it!
Or you could always treat yourself … don’t you deserve gorgeous stationery (the answer to that is always yes!)
This book is unique and made entirely by hand.
Designed by Lizzie Dewey in Salisbury
