A few weeks ago I filled up the notebook I'd been using this fall with notes about marketing and business and things I needed to take notes on. I realized this week I needed a new notebook to take with me on my travels. I contemplated getting one of the mid-sized moleskins and then decided to go back in time a few years and make my own book. I had sheets that were already folded and ready to go. Tonight I added a cover and finished (a few minutes before midnight) a hand bound Coptic notebook.

The outside cover is decorated with hand dyed paper and a page from a Bobsy Twin book that I rescued from someone's garbage. The inner pages are decorated with various techniques from a class I took in 2004ish.

I'm sure some of the acrylic pages will be nearly impossible to write on, but I'm looking forward to filling up the book. I have a lot of projects that need attention and I think a book that's been splashed with colour will help bring life to the things that might otherwise be dull and linear.
