Welcome to our Bound & Wound Etsy store.  After we sold our home, we transitioned into a beautiful motorhome called a Safari Trek.  Our goal was to be able to travel all over the US in our little RV...but have you checked out the gas prices yet?  Anyway, we are comfortably settled in to a very nice RV park in northern Los Angeles county and, for now, this is our home.  I started making journals and leather wrap bracelets because I could keep my supplies and tools to a minimum, unlike soap making supplies.  I HAVE to be doing some kind of crafting, that's all there is to it.  I come from a long line of very creative family members and even my daughter is extremely artistic with her Etsy shop called Homebakd.

I use high quality leathers of all textures and styles, faux leather, suedes, Irish linen thread for stitching, quality lined and unlined papers and very unique closures, making each book distinctly different.  I also make hard bound books and very artistic books as well.   Other items you'll find in my shop include Leather Wrap Bracelets like this one:

One of my newer creations is this hard bound book:

Notice the beautiful braided decoration on the spine.  I thought my hands were going to fall off doing all this braiding but it was well worth it.

Here is another unique design in a journal...

I call this one Serenity.  Each of the sections are separated with a beautiful Asian themed paper.

And of course, you can always find a really nice selection of leather and faux leather journals, such as these:
