Finishing this His/Hers/Ours Goals journal has been one of my artistic goals this summer! =)
This is a completely handmade dos-a-dos journal, using acid-free paper, bound with a variation on the Centipede binding style over raised supports. It lays flat for easy journaling.
A dos-a-dos book (from the French meaning “back-to-back”) is a binding style where two (or more) books are joined back-to-back with the fore edge of one book next to the spine of the other, sharing a common back cover.
A detail view of the binding, showing the spine of the two outer journals, with the fore edge of the midde journal in between.
I’ve entered this dos-a-dos journal along with two other handmade books (my Alphabet Caterpillar Book and my Mini Music Booklace) into the Cloth Paper Scissors Artisan Search 2011. As I was on a roll, I couldn’t resist upgrading it from a 2-in-1 his/hers journal to a 3-in-1 “his/hers and ours” journal. Comments welcome! The finalists will be announced September 27th… Wish me luck!

This is FANTASTIC. I’m so impressed. I love it 🙂
Nikki,
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, and I wanted to make sure you know how much I adored the rose you made for me as a graduation present. It’s been too long, I need to round up You & Joseph, along with your precious baby girl and my Parents and go have dinner sometime…lifes not the same without your riddles!
