It is a little Bind it All notepad. I cut out a piece of card stuck on some white paper and painted a little scene.
(You'll need a bit of imagination for this). It is supposed to be a corner of my pond in spring. A bit green with algae before the oxygenating plants kick in. At the top left is the first plant of the year to flower in there - the marsh marigold. There are some stems in bud, amd tufts of water iris just appearing like grass.
The bead on the ribbon is one I made - faux ivory - it and the thread dangle on the book cover to soften the edge - but I moved it so that you could see the picture.
While I was in the mood I thought I would send a little gift tag too.
Finished off with a bit of thread, and a black bead I made edged with gold ink.

Well, before I read your blurb, I thought the green looked pond like so yes, it's successful and WOW that tag it's lovely also. Great element combo.
xxxxxxxx
I love the notebook, and the bead looks great on the dangle. The black bead on the tag looks brill, and so does the tag. I love your tags!
These are lovely! You need to rehearse the lingo, though (not "You'll need some imagination for this" but rather "This is an impressionistic view of my pond...");o) I love the texture added by the gold embossing, the whole thing looks really classy.
LOL - I am just an old lady who didn't get to go to university - hency my vivid imagination and not the lingo LOL
Oh the colors are fabulous...very soothing...I just know that this will make her feel better...
Do you bind your own notebooks?
Yes I do bind them myself - thank you for you kind comments
Beautiful. Very calming ...reminds me of a Chinese painting.I have a thing for gold embossing- adds real oppulence to artwork I think.
