The Travelling Dori Project



 I was very flattered to be asked to create two Midori Style Traveller's notebooks to be sent around the world as part of the Travelling Dori Project.

This one "Verne" is my homage to Jules Verne and his vivid imagination and artful way of telling a story.

"Verne" has completed his first leg and been all over the United states - after leaving from Australia , he has been to Latin America on to the United Kingdom, Singapore and back to me in Australia.

He is  a little worse for wear but is definitely showing his amazing journey.

Watch my video here for a flip through of his adventures.

"Tiffany" Glendori's in all shapes and sizes


From large moleskin size right through to passport size - I have made these beautiful notebooks and their covers in homage to Tiffany.
 I have made quite a few "Tiffany's" now and I must say the leather is a joy to work with, smells divine and beautiful to behold.











Each have their own matching detachable pen loop with white clip.







Jewelled key charms are a popular addition and really add to the style I feel.



White elastic adds to the overall "Tiffany" feel and adds a little class too.
The colour of the embossed leather is a perfect match to the signature "Tiffany" blue/green.

Each insert is also handmade and either grid or lined paper. The outer covers are chosen to match each individual Glendori and take into account any preference of style from the customer.
