Andrea. creator of
BlueHighways on
Handmade Artists Shop, and a great supporter around
Handmade Artists Forum makes some fantastic books, art & writing journals with durable fabric covers. Each fabric design is only used 3 times, each of those 3 have different paper &/or binding so you are getting something unique with each book.
Andrea prefers the roads less traveled which were the ones printed in blue on older maps, she invites us to travel some BlueHighways with her.
The lovely green batik cover on this 5" x 9"
Handbound Journal Soundscapes reminds me of lush vegetation - being in the SW desert that is currently having fire problems this looks so lovely! I could see the cover inspiring some writing and/or drawing.
This beauty,
Hand Bound Book Papillions Azure has 96 pages (front & back) of 90# natural white watercolor paper
I could see myself taking this along on a trip and sitting for hours and sketching and doing quick little paintings................dreaming
Heck, even in a blah environment, this beauty would inspire!
I love colors - and this lovely 5.5" x 8.5"
Handbound Journal Deconstructed Reverie really drew my eyes right to it! This gorgeous book has 200 pages (front & back) of white text weight lined paper.
Whether you like to draw or write,
Blue Highways has wonderful handbound journals to fit your wants or needs. She has mini ones too!
I picked a couple that are more feminine, but she also has some great ones that would be perfect for the guys, I think the 1st one the green Soundscapes could be used by either! I love the
BlueHighways too!
Thanks for coming by and have a wonderful day.♥
