The cover becomes a journal with sewing in the signature. What a beauty it becomes. Nothing more beautiful than to see an idea coming real in your hands.

This video is less planned than I did before. Just experimenting with crafting on the spot. As you can see, this project challenges me in embracing the imperfection. I love this. It gives so much more freedom. Try it yourself!

In the coming video’s I will work on the pages inside and making all sorts of embellishments. Looking forward to that!

Thanks for watching.
Hope you got inspired! xx Marian
