THE ART OF MAKING DO
A 1/1 EGGPLANT SET OF THREE. ALL DIFFERENT PAGE TYPES, INTER-CHANGEABLE AND WEATHER RESISTANT. ONE BLANK, ONE LINED, AND ONE DOT GRID.
the most extensive, detailed, and specialized hinge notebook I have made yet: a notebook you can bring alongside your stormy weather outings, that CAN handle a little wetness. made water-resistant by using a special build and layer technique using secondhand rite in the rain paper, a clear plastic material adhered to the booklet on the outside and inside the spine (in case water drips into that area), and a skin-safe PROTECTACLEAR coat on the metal hinge.
This item is heavy, weighing about 2 lbs and consists of a complete set including three booklets, each custom made to the hinge with their own set of hooks and o-rings. 160 pages in each booklet. although water resistant, please still wipe dry if possible and avoid letting water dry directly on the metal, even though it should be fine.
notebook made from secondhand: hinge, rite in the rain paper, vintage file folders, steel wire, brown paper bags, linen paper
and: shock cord, heat shrink tubing, rubber o rings, glue, stainless steel o rings, metal grommets
These are made by creating custom inserts for the hinge that allow the booklet to wrap and hook into place inside the hinge, moving with the hinge as it opens and closes. Made using a perfect bind, mull cloth, and archival book glue; made into a semi-hardcover booklet that fits perfectly inside the hinge, pressed so the paper in the booklet can absorb some of the extra space left by the elastic and grommets, and stays there until you want to refill/exchange it. Layers of paper and stationary make up the cover and allow the booklet to have integrity; this helps when metal and paper meet. the hinge edges are sanded down to limit friction, fraying, and to make it smooth to the touch.
5 in x 2.75 in
items are handmade, please allow for uniqueness. i work with metal and paper, and sometimes the booklets get some machine oil from the hinge onto the spine/booklet; this does not affect utility and is unavoidable, as these are still industrial materials and hinges are supposed to have a little lubricant inside the moving parts.
shipping costs are calculated based on package weight and destination. duties and taxes are not included in the checkout price.
