I designed this jacket many moons ago. I think it still works for this classic title. What do you think? It is printed on a textured watercolor paper and has a gloss film lamination on the apothecary jar.   #robertlouisstevenson #design #bookdesign #bookdesigner #publishing #bookpublishing #coverdesign #bookstagram #classics #coverdesign

Hello LinkedIn friends, family, and acquaintances, today is NATIONAL PAPERCLIP DAY - May 29! National Paperclip Day on May 29th each year celebrates a small but handy invention. Yes, even the paperclip has its own day of honor. The day celebrates the well-known piece of curved wire that keeps our papers together and helps us stay organized. While many may have claimed earlier invention of the paperclip, according to the Early Office Museum, Samuel B. Fay received the first patent for a "bent wire paper clip" in the United States in 1867. The original intention of Fay’s clip was to attach tickets to fabric. However, U.S. patent 64,088 recognized that paperclips could also hold papers together. As many as 50 others received patents for similar designs before 1899. One other notable name receiving a patent for his paperclip design in the United States was Erlman J. Wright in 1877. At that time, he advertised his clip for use in fastening newspapers. The Gem paperclip, which was most likely in production in Britain in the early 1870s by The Gem Manufacturing Company, was never patented. It is the most common type of wire paperclip and is still in use today. It was introduced to the United States around 1892, and in 1904, Cushman & Denison registered a trademark for the "Gem" name in connection with paperclips. Paperclips are still sometimes called Gem clips. Today, paperclips come in various sizes, shapes, and colors and can make your paperwork look more fun and lively. Paperclips are not just for holding papers together. There are many other things that you can do with them! ·        Replace a zipper tab ·        Unclog a spray bottle ·        Unclog a single-serve coffee maker ·        Hem holder ·        Emergency hooks for broken necklaces #NationalPaperclipDay #DallasHarrisTips

History of pen. You don’t always realise how important pens are in our daily lives. Often, they’re sitting in convenient places in our houses for when we quickly scramble to find a pen and paper. They are also generally personalised with engraving or printed with company logos or branding, often a cheap plastic pen, but sometimes, a nice metal pen that can be refilled and kept. The breakthrough of pens changed lives and allowed people to be able to communicate and write for future generations. Pens have been around for thousands of years with the first pen used in 3200 BC. Have you ever wondered how we went from using a bamboo reed pen to the ballpoint pen we use today? Jump into our time machine to find out where and when the first pens were created. ✒

Junk Journal no-sew Signature inspired by the illustrations of the Country Diary. Use it as-is to create a small 36 page Junk Journal or get more in my series as book Signature elements and put them together in pockets of a Junk Journal or tie them into a larger book with cord or ribbon. If you just want to quickly journal some memories you can create a mini journal in a one day session, just writing in the illustrated pages as-is, or also adding your own extra writing paper, decorations, pictures and photos to it The images on the pages at the back of the book are to be cut out and used to create extra note cards, envelopes, Tag embellishments, journal cards & their pockets, as well as scraps to all cut and glue into the pages of the book and just keep building as many layers as you want on each page. Then for extra fun in building up your Junk Journal layers, you also add your own laces, ribbons, fabric, photos, buttons, jewels, flowers, stickers and whatever scraps delight your creativity. https://lnkd.in/gJvEt3Ub
