I've decided that I've had enough of using my fingers as pin cushions while needlefelting, so I've purchased some leather offcuts on eBay and I'm going to make myself some fingerstalls. While needlefelting, you can't always keep the project on the felting brush or foam (stopped using foam, I hate getting bits of it felted into my project). Sometimes the needle goes straight through and pierces flesh, then you have to dump the wool as it's stained with blood. My bag of offcuts was a bargain, about £7 for 600g. I've noticed that there aren't many people selling fingerstalls for needlefelters, so I might make some for sale. Some pieces are actually big enough to make A6 size notebook covers, if I wanted to get into that, I'll see (stop it, mustn't go off on tangents, must focus on business plan,
focus.....).
Last night I cut enough materials for 2 more books and folded the paper, now just to decide on the features. These will be more coptic bound notebooks, after those, I'll do some case bound. The notebooks have been A5 size, maybe once I've done a few A5 case bound notebooks, I'll do some A6 sizes for variety.
I've got photos to take for my shop on Etsy, so once they are up, I'll put them on here too.
talk soon
love & hugs

A new journal was listed in my Etsy shop this evening. It is a hand bound A4 journal with
130gsm cream paper. It is covered with black bonded leather on the spine
and beautiful handmade Japanese paper with a floral design on a red
background (which a friend brought back for me from Japan). It would have been listed at a price of £37.00, but has been discounted to £20.00. The reason for the discounted price is a glue problem on the
last pages of the book (see photo on my Etsy page).
