Handmade sketch book

seen this: www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Homemad…

i have already been thinking of doing a handmade sketchbook...

first attempt.. i would change a few things on my next one..

measures:  6x9in, 3/4in thick. made with heavy duty cardboard, fabric, ribbon and paper from a sketch pad, and deco scrapbook paper for inside cover.. has approx 30+ pages... also added a ribbon place marker b/c i so wish my black sketchbook that i draw in had one... i hate having to find my place...

i am also interested in making the Japanese binding one also...
