\"Nature<\/p>\n

These coptic stitch nature journals were made from a gorgeous calendar I’d been saving, saying “I’m sure I can make something out of this…” The journals I made lay totally flat when they’re opened up, which makes writing or sketching easy. This one of a kind journal is the perfect gift for a nature lover, or to use as a travel journal, or a nature sketchbook. There are only 6 in this series – click below to see if they’ve sold yet:<\/p>\n

Desert + Butterfly<\/a><\/p>\n

Mountains + Fox<\/a><\/p>\n

Savannah + Panda<\/a><\/p>\n

Cranes + Waterfall<\/a><\/p>\n

Undersea + Sea Turtle<\/a><\/p>\n

Birch Forest + Polar Bear<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Upcycled<\/p>\n

After glueing up the covers, I put them into a nipping\u00c2\u00a0press\u00c2\u00a0<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 with waxed paper, and masonite boards<\/a> in between each book – they should be under pressure for at least 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Opening up the press is like Christmas morning!
