BESTeam Feature: Write Owl Designs

For my second BESTeam feature this week, I am writing about Write Owl Designs. Jean, the owner of Write Owl Designs, was inspired by her mother at eight years old to make her own books.  Her mother gave Jean a "bookmaking kit" consisting of office paper, crayons, needle and thread, construction and contact paper, and told Jean that she could make her own story. That was the beginning of Jean's bookmaking career.
 
Here is an Orange Expressions Hardback Journal. This would be perfect not only as a journal, but for sketching as well.









This is a Green Marble Hardback Journal. It has 80 pages of tarragon writing paper that has been hand sewn and cased to the cover.











Up next is my favorite, the Gold Leaves Coptic Stitch Journal. So beautiful!














And if you've ever thought about making your own journals, this DIY Coptic Stitch Journal Kit would make a good starting point for you.










You can also visit the Write Owl Designs Blog to find out more about Jean, and to read her features of other Etsy Shops.

Thanks for stopping by :-)
