| Baby Book Illustrated Cover by Daniel Heywood with your baby's name printed right on the cover. Can be done on paper or bookcloth. Daniel also takes custom orders if your child's nursery has a different theme. Please contact him with color scheme, theme and name for a price quote. See Daniel's illustrations by clicking here. |
 |
| Names printed on a lokta paper cover. This paper wears beautifully and takes ink well. The paper is sprayed with a sealer to protect it from oils, dirt and light after printing. The sealer is not noticable and does not change the wonderful natural feel of the handmade lokta paper. Other colors of lokta can be printed on. Please contact me with color request for availability. |
Raised or Inset Designs on Cover
------------
Letters like this end up being large at about 1" in height and width. Since they are so large, it's best to just do initials instead of a whole name.
 |
| The process of insetting requires that I cut into the bookboard with a knife, glue on the material used for cover and then use the bone folder as shown in the top of the photograph to tool the material into the design/letters. |
 |
| The finished inset initials on the cover. |
 |
| This berries design went with the theme of a wedding. If a certain flower or design was used in your wedding, we can inset it like this. |
 |
| Or we can do a raised design like this. |
Or we can do raised letters which can say whatever you'd like.
