Custom Handmade Leather Bound Collection Set Western Adventure Art Poetry Notebook (187)
This custom handmade leather bound collection is an example of work that can be commissioned by NewSouthBooks. Each is uniquely constructed from the same hand-cut & trimmed leather and features original watercolors to match. What separates them is the size, ranging from 5 1/2"x 7" to 3"x 4 1/2". Different scraps from the blacksmith's floor with natural patina adorn the individual covers. If you are looking for a gift idea, something distinctive and matchless, here's a place to start. Prices will vary according to number and size, artwork and design, but I'm bettin we can work together to make it happen. This edition has been sold

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
As sole proprietor at Studio of Visual Arts, I have been a professional illustrator and printmaker for 35 years. My illustrative work is represented in five Louisiana State Museums, countless corporate collections and has received numerous prestigious grants. NewSouthBooks was born as a natural extension of that same artisanship. I am now producing and marketing handmade, leather bound journals of quality and distinction, each journal a unique presentation with original artwork as adornment. All leather, new or old, is hand-cut and trimmed. I use only the highest quality fine art/printmaking paper (250w), hand stitching each signature. My leather journals are truly bound books using traditional book binding materials. Adding to the distinction is the incorporation of original artwork to inside covers and often, the middle signature. On this site, you'll see many examples of work previously completed for clientele. Just find me and we can discuss making one to suit your individual needs and taste

For Custom Made To Order Leather Cover For Any Version Bible With Rebinding (296)5.0Michael breathed new life into my husband’s late grandmother’s Bible. This precious keepsake, which was worn from many years of diligent use, can now be something we pass down ourselves thanks to Michael’s skillful hands. Michael kept me updated throughout the process, from receipt of the Bible to delivery, and he was careful to preserve all of the personal notes and scribbles. My husband and I are both thrilled with the end product!

For Distressed Pig Skin Leather Bound Travel Adventure Journal Ledger Planner5.0There are not enough written (or spoken) words to describe Michael & his art. He is a true gentleman and his books are beyond "Art". I now have several of Michael's books and they are, well, 'perfect'; period. Thank you Michael - very much.
