I really like this sketchbook-It's 8.5"x10.5" which I think is the largest leather book I've made to date. Secondly I love the buttons! They came from the customer & are vintage WW2 buttons, they come down the page in a wave with the natural curve fo the edge of the hide. It looks fantastic and sadly I don't have a good picture of it. I lost the fantastic lighting in my old kitchen & had I haven't gotten a light box built yet...Thanks for all the well wishes about my poor thumb! I'm a slow healer but so far I'm only about a day behind schedule on the after care sheet they gave me so hopefully I'll be able to get my stitches out next week and get started on the tutorial I keep promising!
In other news this weekend I'll be at Sushi! Sake! Sumo! in PDX serving Coconut Bliss. I'm really excited about going, because well I don't like cancer! It's a really run fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and hopefully I'll have time to slip into a sumo suit!

That book you're barbecuing looks deee-lish! And your treasure hunt sounds great too -- I'd join in but it would be a heck of a commute (:
It was a virtual BBQ! Are you part of the Etsy bookbinding team yet?
I seem to remember that you opened a store...
Anyways I wish I could take credit for the photo of the book being grilled, but it's not mine :) I don't actually know which team member took it...
my grill is no where clean enough to get a book that close to it!
