The idea of starting TP Handmadejournals began with a massive computer crash.. As a housewife I love to experiment and prepare different dishes, and so I am constantly looking on the net for new ideas, which I save to a folder on my desktop, however one fateful day, the Pc crashed and my hard drive was toast. I then remembered the tattered old recipe book my Nana left for me and decided to make a personalised kitchen recipe book, hand stitched the old fashioned way, to save and to keep all of my favourite recipes together and avoid another misfortune. As my Nana left her recipe book for me I will leave mine for my granddaughters. My friends loved the idea of a hand sown personalised and cool Recipe Journal and asked me to make them one.They also suggested it would be a good idea to make some as gifts for like minded people and so was born TP hand made Journals.

A faux leather slip on book cover ( A5)

This was a first design attempt,in making a slip on book cover, the design element, the tree of life, was made in various stages to create a 3D design aspect. This was made in faux leather, and I think it would look even better in Calf leather. This, like the other leather Journals, can be made to order, and custom modified, including design elements suggested by the customer. Below are some images of the book  cover prototype, hope you like it. If you could leave a comment it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Esta foi uma primeira tentativa de design, para uma capa de livro. O elemento de design, a árvore da vida, foi feito em várias etapas para criar um aspeto de design 3D. Foi feito em couro falso e acho que ficaria ainda melhor em couro de alta qualidade. Este, como os outros diários de couro, podem ser feitos sob encomenda e modificado sob medida, incluindo elementos de design sugeridos pelo cliente. Abaixo estão algumas imagens do protótipo da capa do livro, espero que gostem. Se puderem deixar um comentário, seria muito apreciado.
Obrigado.
