I’m Katie Marie and I make repurposed hand bound journals from abandoned, discarded vintage books and cabinet cards. I have been honing my craft for the last 10 years!!

Each one of my books is bound with the coptic stitch binding which allows for a book to lie open flat while writing, drawing, painting or collaging. This is a great feature that makes my books unique and one of a kind.

My books are filled with a variety of different papers such as drawing paper, charcoal paper, colored pastel paper, 98lb mixed media paper, and 140 cold pressed watercolor paper. Most of the time I hand rip the paper, unless I’ve decided to explore of decorative embellishments such as hand inking the fore edge of the page, or the outer edge of the paper.
I also accept custom orders. These books make an excellent gift for you or someone special!
