At various points along the way there were eleven, then thirteen, but now that they are finished the final count is twelve. Twelve blank journals with covers of handwoven cloth. Ten of them are jacquard and two dobby; various structures: lampas, samitum, weft-backed satin. Many of the wefts are handspun. Interior spines are leather, wrapper cords were twisted on the Bradshaw cord twister. Book structure is longstitch with linen thread. Here's a group photo showing the book fronts:

I really wanted to take these ladies outside for a more festive group photo in the garden, but the weather is beastly today. So these will have to do. A lot of weaving, a lot of glueing, a lot of stitching, a lot of love. Enjoy.
