A5 Distressed Brown Leather Journal - magenta stitch

Rustic A5 (22 x 16cms), genuine leather hand-bound journal/notebook. Possibilities are endless - use for an Inspiration Diary, Dream Recording, Art or Travel Journal.
Made with a stunning brown, distressed look, genuine leather hide. Bound with a magenta waxed linen thread and is teamed with 130gsm artists cartridge paper signatures (signatures are the individual paper books which have been sewn inside, 8 in total, each consisting of 7 folded pages). 112 leaves which will give you 220 write-able pages. I have tea stained the write-able pages using organic French Earl Grey tea for an Old World look. There is a mix of quite heavily stained pages but also softer tonal staining as well. The paper I have chosen for my journals is a premium grade fine tooth artist’s drawing cartridge paper with good erasability. Perfect for finished drawing in pen, pencil, marker, charcoal & pastel.
Where possible I like to work with the natural edging of the hide to give the journal added character. Each hide is different with many lovely quirks - holes, differing colour gradients and natural blemishes. Attached wrap around lacing closes the journal. This is a sturdy 1.8-2mm leather and is quite firm. Of course being natural leather, will be strong and durable.
A feature of this journal is the inclusion of four of my own original art prints in the first and last signature, flanked by sheets of gold metallic and pink premium papers. Making this a very unique and special journal for the recording of all your art, precious words or dreams.
Journal arrives to you wrapped and packaged in a recycled gift box.

Slight price increase as I have included more pages and am now using my Art Printer with German Hahnemuhle 290gsm Bamboo or Hemp fine art paper for the prints.
