Etsy Tuesday : Neilsen Handmade Physics Journal
This. Is. Awesome! Using discard books and recycled paper, these journals from Neilsen Handmade are handcrafted, collaged, and stitched to make some pretty snazzy pads of paper. I just love the layout of this cover, the title, and that spider web type stitching at the bottom. Fantastic!

Van Gogh Mouse
