For Interiors

For the pages I offer watercolor paper, sketch paper, lined, dotted, colorful, blank, or mixed sheets. I also add spacers for photos and inserts when needed to avoid bulking the spine.

Dive into my collection of papers, fabrics, colours, textures and creative techniques — combine them in your own way and together we will craft something truly personal.

01

Paper — The heart of every book

I use everything from acid-free archival paper to handmade sheets — great for both content and covers.

The materials I use are as varied as the projects I create

Here are some examples of materials I work with for you to browse and get inspired.

For covers, boxes

I have a wide range of decorative papers: patterned lokta paper, hand-marbled paper from Belgium and Venice, Italian papers from Kartos, Rossi, and Tassotti, as well as unique designs from independent artists. You’re sure to find the perfect fit!

Hand-marbled papers in green, turquoise, purple, blue, black, and red tones.

02

Cloth

In many colors and textures — natural or coated. Can be used on its own or in combination with decorative paper. Perfect for bindings as well as boxes. Especially beautiful with embossing!

Also, cotton fabric used for sewing - or maybe a tie or an old dress? A perfect way to make that favourite shirt or your wedding veil into a keep sake!

03

Leather —
A touch of luxury

A more luxurious, though pricier, alternative to fabric, resulting in a masterpiece with Wow effect. The finishing techniques are even more diverse — embossing, gilding, appliqués.

​

Materials range from goat and calf to salmon, stingray, toad, ostrich. Or how about a cowhide?

Threads & Ribbons

Most of my books are sewn with thread — usually white, but colors can match your design. The same goes for bookmarks and headbands (the finishing at the top and bottom of the book).

And of course, ribbons, trims, or lace can be used to enhance design.

There are endless ways to decorate a book or box — here are some examples:

YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN MATERIALS!

Vintage fabric? A piece of your wedding dress? A special stone? — that is a wonderful way to make your book truly personal and one-of-a-kind! Ask me — I always find a way to make it work!
