Hand-made Book

I really like this idea of using an old book cover and binding in pages to create a work book. Adding details such as the ribbon book mark, the cover is not always in good condition but I like this; when you can tell a book is well loved, and used for what it was made for. A well made book is important, so it can contain the content; writing, drawing, materials, doodles, stories. When sketchbooks and notebooks become really fat with content and the pages aren't necessarily flat and perfect it adds to the aesthetic and becomes engaging.
