A6 Black Foldover Front Leather Journal - teal stitch

Rustic A6 (15.5 x 11.5cms), genuine leather hand-bound journal/notebook. Inspiration Diary, Dream Recording, Art or Travel Journal.

Hand-sewn with waxed linen thread and filled with 130gsm artists cartridge paper signatures (signatures are the individual paper books which have been sewn inside, 8 in total, each consisting of 8 folded pages). 128 leaves which will give you 256 write-able pages. 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.

All of my leather hides are sourced from an Australian Tannery located in Victoria. Their philosophy is to source the best Australian hides and finishes to create the perfect product. I am extremely happy with the quality of all the leathers I have sourced from them. 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 2.2-2.4mm leather and is quite soft and pliable. Of course being natural leather, will be strong and durable.

A feature of these journals are the inclusion of 2 my own original art prints in the first signature flanked by sheets of specialty papers one sheet of my own handmade paper using petals from the garden.

I have included a process collage as well, so you have an idea of what goes into the creation of these journals.

This very unique and special journal can be used for the recording of all your art, precious words or dreams. The journal arrives to you packaged in a gift box crafted from recycled materials.
