Unrealistically beautiful book bindings (20 photos)

You can’t write down anything stupid in the kind of notebooks that Aniko Kolesnikova designs - the notebooks are so beautiful and ornate that they should definitely contain some absolutely priceless data, dreams, or a handwritten novel worthy of a Nobel Prize. Funny and serious, all these books amaze with the attention to detail and love with which Aniko creates them.

Aniko Kolesnikova is an artist from Latvia, although she now lives and works in England under the name Mandarin Duck. Chic covers for notebooks are not the only thing Aniko works with. She is fascinated by all things polymer clay, and her website features a wide variety of stylish jewelry, video tutorials, and more.
