Mrs Gaz Launches New Range of Handmade Note & Scrap Books
By Garry | June 12th, 2010 | Category: GazLanNaThai | No Comments »
Mrs Gaz has been getting crafty of late. To prove it, here’s a snapshot of some of her new designs for notebooks and mini scrap-books made completely by hand, using offcuts from our mulberry paper ranges.
These simple, but attractive, designs are her initial offering of 6×5 inch mini scrap-books / notebooks, which come with a traditional ribbon-tied page-binding, and between the stiff covers are an average of 20 smooth surface mulberry vellum paper.
The front cover is pre-creased to fold open offering a 6×4-inch usable page size. However, because you can untie and re-tie the ribbon, you’re not limited to only 20 page sheets, nor to using 6×5-inch page sheets – you could, for example, insert a 6×20-inch page to use as a fold-out, handy reference chart or map page.
These four, as I said, are the initial range available now in the Notebooks section of the GazLanNaThai.com online store’s Favours and Gifts category. Currently, Mrs Gaz has another five or six colour sets made for the basic chequerboard cover-pattern, and is working on the embellishment layouts for them.
One idea that occurred to me, was that this basic design (as in the blue and white soccer design) would be a great way to make “team records” or scrapbooks for this summer’s World Cup, using the team colours for each competing nation. What do you think?
Should Mrs Gaz make sets for each team? If she did, would you like to confirm a pre-order? Which teams (and what are their colours this year) would you like to see?
Leave your ideas and requests in the comments below – remember, making these notebooks is not limited to “girlie” designs or to the World Cup – Mrs Gaz could make series’ of them for any sport – e.g. Premier League, or Rugby League / Union, or American Football, Ice Hockey, or even your local Little League baseball team or athletics club. They’re very inexpensive considering they’re fully handmade from handmade materials – click through to our store and check out the prices in your currency.
(Don’t forget to post your suggestions and requests in the comments form below – I’ll contact you with production lead-times, availability dates etc., and to confirm your order details, or, simply head through to the store to buy designs already available).
