A Notebook is Born

Fernando has been designing a notebook. 

The shapes are selected from Taughannock Creek stones.

These are the chosen stones in their final arrangement. 
The stone shapes are carved into the cover board.


The book cover is prepared.


The book block and the cover are ready to be glued together.
The stone shapes are also added to the back cover in low relief.
The front and back boards have been covered in blue linen fabric.

The stones are glued onto the cover.


The beautiful front cover of the book. 


The back cover.
Finished!

This lovely wedding guest book or personal journal is 6x9".
