Folks, I’m “this” close to finishing my springback book. If all goes well I should be done next week – yay! It’s looking so nice. Today I had to saw off the excess board, sand the boards and pare the leather I’ll be using to cover part of the boards.
Also, I don’t know if I mentioned it or not but I did finish my 40 beaded journal books I was working on for a friend. Here’s a pic of some of them. I was very happy with the way they turned out although I did have a bit of a screw up on one journal. That’s ok, I’ll keep that one for me.
Anyway, it’s been a long day. We were without electricity a good part of the day, then it was bookbinding and then I had to run some errands. I’m off to read and I’ll catch up with you guys soon!

Pretty! Those are so gorgeous. Let me know when you start selling them. I’d buy lots up.
They’re beautiful, Iliana!! I think you can make a business by selling them! I know I’ll buy them from you. 😉
Lovely picture!
wow…those are SO beautiful!
They really are beautiful, and I love the way you are continuing to master the craft. You could easily sell them; they would make wonderful gifts!
Those are so gorgeous! Really impressive work. I agree that you could sell them – I’d love to give them as gifts.
Those are nice, Iliana! You are so talented!
Oh wow…they are lovely, Iliana!! Definite potential as gifts. 😀
Those are lovely, Iliana! And yes, do let us know when you start an etsy shop!! 😉
Beautiful books.
Are you sure you are in TX (with the electricity going out)? I seems that you are in New Orleans, where the electricity does go out during a rainstorm or fire.
Chica, these are just stunning little books! I know everyone who receives one will be so happy!
I think I owe you an email. =)
I love the journals with the Florentine pattern. Is you friend selling these??
Actually have you ever thought of selling these yourself? I would love to buy one–I am going to be in need of a new book journal soon!
Absolutely stunning!!! Seriously, if you sell them they will come….and I will be first in line!
I know I’m just repeating what everyone else has already said, but I have to: those are gorgeous!
Thank you so much everyone! I’m over here melting and blushing from all your kind words 🙂
I’ve got a little something in the works so I promise to spill the beans soon!
I always admire your work. They are really beautiful.
I love spilled beans…
Wow, those are beautiful! Your work is amazing. And if you’re selling, I’m buying!
Wow-what a great picture! 🙂
Iliana, those journals are gorgeous!
