Preliminary Whimsy Blue branding

I have so far sold a couple items in my etsy shop. If you have not checked it out yet, we just added some vintage housewares and will be adding more very soon! Especially after yesterdays adventure.

Anyways, back to the topic of the day. (I am an artist, so I get a little bit scattered at times...my mind is like a merry go round of ideas, the solution for this is to always have a sketchbook, pad of paper, napkin or journal)

Upon making my first sale, I had an idea of what to do with the remains of my vintage books that I used for the journals. This was all experimental as well. I really had no idea if this would work. So I took six pages from the journals original binding and sewed them together with some fun blue thread.

I then was deciding to wrap the book, and cut the edges so that the book provided a little peekaboo at the end. I found some stamps to create the words in what other then blue ink. (Soon we will have our own logo stamp!!!! So exciting!)) I then grabbed the dainty, blue ribbon that we have, and had my sister tie the ribbon because for whatever reason I have no idea how to do so!!

Here are some of the end result photos, I hope you all like. Maybe I will put a little DIY post documenting how I did it all for you!!! Let me know what you think!
