Friday’s Tidbit: Tiny Leather Journal Necklace, from New PreHistory
This teeny, tiny handbound leather journal necklace from New PreHistory is just so cool! I cannot believe the amount of work that must go into creating such a nifty treasure!
A charming little handbound chocolate brown leather journal, miniaturized and made into wearable art jewelry! I made this little journal using reclaimed leather and recycled paper with much love and my nimble fingers. The blank journal pages are acid free archival quality heavyweight end paper in a beautiful ivory color, 80 pages total. Each page has been hand-torn for an organic touch, with a small leather wrap closure to keep your secrets secure. Details include contrasting sage green leather tie and beautiful longstitch binding in my signature double X pattern, also in the fresh sage green. Comes on an antique-finish brass chain, standard is 19 inches but chain can be customized to any length you wish!
Laura has many such goodies in her etsy shop, so go check out New PreHistory today!
Captain Blood: An Indie Comic authored by Matthew Shepherd
It’s been a while since I’ve featured a book on IndieNorth, so I’m terribly pleased to introduce you to author Matthew Shepherd.
Matt’s been working on a comic adaptation of what he considers “the single greatest damn pirate novel of all time”: Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini.
To see the first eight pages of this fantastic new comic, click here!
Says Matt:
it is, in my obviously biased opinion, a great adaptation of an even better novel. Even if you do decide to check out the comic, I can’t stress enough that you still need to read the original book — it’s a spectacular read (click here to go to the Project Gutenberg version), and even serves as a primer on the Monmouth rebellion and the powderkeg of inter-European politics in the 18th century. We’re scrambling to do it justice with our sepia-and-white rendition of it.
You can also keep up to date with Matt’s opinion of the world around him at his blog: shep.ca. or follow him on twitter. (And if you do, tell him he needs an avatar)
