Bindin' for the woman.

I made 10 books yesterday.

My idea of a marketable artist's product that features my supergirly pattern:




Also, my How-To manual:




Sorry for the shoddy photos!

Sara these are gorgeous
Your binding is really amazing... the journal mockups look professional and complete. Your stuff hardly looks like student work anymore. I want one... How do you make those patterns?

The instructions booklet is beautiful, of course. I don't know about the font you've used—I think it works well in the little lists, but when you have the large numbers on the pages... I think maybe it's a font that was designed to be printed small. The characters are so thick that they end up dominating your illustrations a little, especially since you've used that red. Otherwise, I can't find anything to critique.

I've been struggling for inspiration lately but these are so motivating.

I looked at it again and realized that you'd hand-lettered the booklet—which is incredibly impressive since I thought you'd done it digitally.
