Cork Dog Journals

This past week, I made these cork covered journals with dog silhouettes. The covers are made from a thin layer of cork with a fabric backing. The dogs are made of dark brown cork. Each dog is cut by hand, which my sore left hand can attest to!

Cork is very eco-friendly because cork trees can be re-harvested every 8-10 years. No trees are cut down in the process.

I had fun deciding which breeds to make, but some of the fluffier breeds don't translate well as silhouettes.

I had to stand on a bench to get a good shot of my journals. During my photo shoot, Cabana came over to supervise. Ha ha, my striped socks are showing.

If you want to purchase a journal, I have them posted in my Etsy store. Blog readers can get free shipping by entering this code: oursforayear.
