Description I made this from a recycled FedEx envelope as my travel sketchbook for my study abroad session in Italia. It was made before my bookmaking class, so it's just sort of slap-dash sewn together since I didn't know what I was doing yet and I think in lieu of that I'm really rough on it. The poor thing gets thrown around everywhere, stuffed into bags & suitcases, etc. In parallel, the drawings inside are also really rough, but I like it, gives me a place to just do whatever.

The inside cover has a pocket and the book has three sections of paper in it and the whole thing measures to be about 9x6 in. It's really light & easily portable.

thanks, and i definitely think you should, it'll last, haha. I was seriously so awful to it during my trips & the picture was taken post-travels, so you can see how well it held up
