Artist and designer Della Sigrest combines passion with talent in her new business, Bound To Be Great Co., crafting custom journals and sketchbooks. Sigrest took up bookbinding as a hobby on a whim. She found the process “meditative,” and a business was born.
“Holding the artifact of a finished project is always satisfying, but the added functionality of hand-bound sketchbooks is particularly exciting to me,” she says. Sketchbooks cost about $30.
Sigrest, who says she uses durable, quality materials, began selling her products in March on Etsy.
