Giving Thanks – 50 Years of Thanksgiving Days

Oct 31st, 2011 by

The journal, Giving Thanks, allows you to chronicle 50 years of Thanksgiving Days and create a treasured family heirloom! The left page is composed of a series of “recipe cards” that create a place to capture the who, what, when and where of your family gathering. The right page is composed of a note to record the things that have happened during the year that you are thankful for.

Giving Thanks becomes part of your Fall decor as the folk art by Neeley Spotts conjures up all kinds of Thanksgiving Day memories and the carefully selected bookcloth is in harvest colors.

Giving Thanks becomes part of your Thanksgiving Day tradition as folks love to read about what they were doing on those milestone days in their life’s journey.

The 5 inch X 7 inch journals are handbound at the bindery at Pixel Point in Anderson, South Carolina using the techniques described on the bookbinding information page. The covers are Italian bookcloth with an inlaid title graphic.  The bookblock is printed on TreeFree paper made from sugarcane and hand stitched with linen thread.

Custom Journal – Wedding Anniversary Gift

Sep 18th, 2011 by

Are you stumped for a unique wedding anniversary gift? Let Pixel Point design the perfect journal for that special occasion.

The featured journal was created to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary of a special couple. The guests of honor prefer an organic look so the book was crafted with papers from the earth. The cover is a dark sepia book cloth from Italy. The cover is a faded blue lokta paper from Nepal. The endpaper is a golden lokta fiber that has a fern pattern “sun etched” into it. The book block uses an alternative fiber from Costa Rica that is made from sugar cane left in the fields after the harvest.

A small wedding day picture is inlaid into the cover.

This journal includes a sentiment from the givers as well a carefully selected poem. The remainder of the journal contains pages for friends and family to enter their special memories and thoughts – so much more than just a signature in a guest book!

The journal is 96 pages -5/8 X 5 X 7 inches and constructed using the techniques described on our bookbinding information page.

Contact Pixel Point to arrange for your custom journal to celebrate the anniversary of a special couple!

Here are the prompts that make each entry unique:

Custom Travel Journal for New York City

May 20th, 2011 by

We designed this journal for a couple who were planning a trip to New York City.  They wanted something that had an iconic theme for the cover and they also liked the idea of using repurposed materials.

As a result of our collaboration, this very pretty journal came into existence.

The cover paper is repurposed wallpaper from an out-of-date sample book from Sherwin-Williams. The color complements the colors in the print and also has a very nice texture. The spine is Italian bookcloth in a shade of green that compliments the colors in the print.

The print is actually a reproduction of a vintage postcard of the Statue of Liberty.  The original print was done by the Illinois Vintage Postcard Company and the reproduction is part of the Cavallini Vintage New York Postcard series packaged in an attractive tin box.

The book block is made from alternative fiber paper. The paper is made form fiber waste from the sugar cane harvests in Costa Rica.

You can read about our bookbinding techniques on the Bookbinding Page of our WEBsite.

Pixel Point will be glad to work with you on YOUR special project.  Please get in touch with us!
