Lupe ! Happy Birthday As !
Cantik nye ! I like la ! Buat la lagi :)
As, they are both gorgeous but I do like the classy look of the first. The pages look intricate and as if a page is inserted into a 'holder' - is that right? Is there a name for this style of pages? Oh, you are so clever! I've been wanting to do books for ever but just never get round to it.
Hi As, happy birthday to you! May all your dreams come true. :)
Sorry As, I forgot to wish you happy birthday, May all your dreams come true!

sangat cantik As!!
Happy Birthday!
♥ thank you all for the birthday wishes =) ♥
kak ila: hehehe, baek! :D
ally: yup it is true. this book is more siutable to be used as photo album. as i said, it's the combination of jornal making (sewing part), origami (the folder), and quilling (the decoration). so there are no specific tutorial and hence no particular name for it, cuz i learn those three separately. but all i can say it is a origami handbound book. but if you're interested on how to make the folder, it actually made from water lily origami. here's a benificial link for you: http://myhandboundbooks.blogspot.com/2008/01/origami-water-lily-tutorial.html i've alter a bit so that i can sew the lilies. btw, the blog shares a lot of handmade books and they all are very great! :D
kak asma: insyaAllah as ad ms nanti as try buat k? :)
ann: the first one, i made based on my favorite combination actually, brown and turquoise :P i always hope to get handmade journal as persents but since no one knows, make it for myself is much more better rather than hoping :P all i can say, i'm really proud and happy to get this from 'pieces' of me :P heheh ;)
kak julie, msraiza, kak aswani: thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥
kak adillah: feel free to try anything i've shared here :) m glad it inspires you ^^

cheryl: hi cheryl :) right now i only can make a really simple book a day. but i hope later on i when i'm good enough in sewing the book, i can make more faster :) i believe talent comes from passion and effort. and i know, it will always resides in each of our hearts until we figure it out and confident to make the first step ^__^
