Hand-bound leather books by Benjamin Castro
Benjamin Castro is pretty local to where I live, so I have definitely considered tracking him down and stealing his mad book-binding skills.
…Or commissioning him. Whichever’s easier.

Fire: Collagraph Book by Soft Shell Crafts
The cover of this hand bound journal is made from upcycled cardboard and covered with test collgraphs from my printmaking days as an undergrad. This sketchbook includes both white drawing paper and black charcoal paper. It is great from experimenting with a variety of medium. It is bound with green embroidery floss using the coptic stitching method.
Dimensions:
Cover: 6” x 9.25”
Pages: 5.75” x 9”
40 sheets, 80 pages

I want the Ophelia, Twelfth Night, or Midsummer journal. They’re all so pretty!
I’m partial to the Portia and Midsummer journals, myself. Might have to link these to my husband for Christmas.
