Designs featured here are in accord to their requests. What we really do is to make their demands [to the styles they want for their ordered journals] and how it should appear on the covers. With the help of great imagination and research, I came up with these truly unique journals. All produced at La Simero Handmade.
These journals are bind through Coptic Stitch binding method and Perfect Binding. You can search these techniques in YouTube through searching Sea Lemon's instructions. She has a lot of clear tutorial videos on these methods. So you can see them through clicking the links below.
