About the Sketchbooks!
Hello,
I've been busily crafting sketchbooks with nice hard covers (usually from
vintage hardcover books)
and good quality paper (28# laser grade smooth paper).
There will be 100 sheets of paper per book, with a sheet of clear vinyl that can be placed behind the current page (to prevent marker leakthrough). All pages are 3 hole drilled. The covers have brass grommets through all three holes and the whole book is held together with 3 o-rings that can be opened to remove finished art or to move the vinyl sheet, or with strong plastic zip ties that are sturdy and secure. There is an elastic strap that holds the book closed or can be used to hold reference material against the inside front cover or even to hold the page you're working on down (by flipping the front cover completely around the back).
I have recently started adding more paper stocks to the selection for special orders. Watercolor paper and Bristol/Cardstock are the 2 I have on hand. Btistol/Card would be 50 sheets for the same price as a standard book (see below).
Watercolor paper would be $10 for 25 sheets.
For Custom Books made to order, I just need to know if you want -- a particular animal on a old 60's encylopedia, a self help book, etc., or fake fur. Book prices run approximately $15 shipped for an old book cover, and $20 shipped for fake fur. . Of course, if what you're looking for in a cover only runs in a new condition/ higher priced book or material, I will have to charge accordingly.
But I will email you to let you know first, and to confirm the order.
Thanks!
