Bark and twig binding. Bone medallion with butterfly charm. Copper-colored key charm sits on the geode slice (which contains some copper color - very pretty stone).

Blank journal - unlined pages of handmade paper (deckle edges), thick-textured covering, gemstone (malacite), glass beads (dragon medallion), brass charms, pewter. Black is very difficult to photograph and so this picture is lightened so you can see the embellishments. The cover textured surface is a lovely, rich black. The dragon medallion is my design worked in peyote stitch with Delica beads. The "shield" above the dragon has malachite in the center. The sword is pewter. Guys really like this one! Signed and numbered. 1.75 inches deep. 6.5 inches x 10 inches.
Blank journal - unlined pages of handmade paper, wire, brass charms, handmade papers, gemstones (turquoise, quartz), glass beads, geode slice, tin, natural materials. The background of the covers are real leaves. Bark and bamboo binding. A lizard sits on a 'rusty' oval which overlaps the gold vein leaf which sits under the geode slice occupied by a butterfly. Whew! Signed and numbered. 6.75 inches x 8 inches.
Blank journal - unlined pages, ribbon bookmark, vinyl self-closure band and pen holder loop, brass charms, pewter. Again, black is very difficult to photograph and I have lightened the picture so the embellishments can be seen more easily. The sword is pewter. The 'shield' medallion has a dragon with raised wings attached to the center (kind of looks like a crest). Guys really like this one, too! Signed and numbered. 1 inch thick. 4 inches x 6 inches.
