…bridesmaids. This is something I learned recently when I was asked if I would make notebooks as gifts from a bride to her bridesmaids. Sure, I said, no problem. How many bridesmaids?
Nine.
I can’t lie, that threw me a bit, but in the end it turned out to be terrific fun because I got to design nine different notebooks. The bride wrote down a few words about each woman, and off I went to select papers and binding styles.
An eclectic mix, let’s show off each notebook individually so you can have a proper look. Although it was occasionally challenging to find the right paper for each cover, it was very satisfying to rummage through my studio trying to find ‘the one’. Even more so to then decide which binding style would be best, and of course the question of thread, and inner lining – oh the choices! These books have been made using everything from scrapbook paper through to a repurposed paper carrier bag, and some of the vintage linen thread is older than I am! I hope that the bridesmaids like them as much as the bride and I do 🙂
Here they are all wrapped up and waiting to go.
