A6 Brown Foldover Front Leather Journal - black stitch, tea stained pages

Rustic A6 (15.5 x 11.5cms), genuine leather hand-bound journal/notebook. Inspiration Diary, Dream Recording, Art or Travel Journal.
Filled with a firm 150gsm 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 224 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.

I wanted to create something a little different with this one, as you can see by the wrap around tie. I have cut a very thin piece of leather to create a bow like feature at the front tie off, to which I have also attached a lead free pewter, Celtic Triquetra charm. Making this a very unique and distinctive journal to give as a gift or special treat for yourself.
A feature of these journals are the inclusion of 2 my own original art prints in the first signature flanked by sheets of gold metallic and one sheet of my own handmade paper using petals from my own garden.
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 1.8-2.2mm leather which is sturdy yet quite soft and pliable. Of course being natural leather, will be strong and durable.
I have included a process collage image as well to give you have an idea of what goes into the creation of these journals.

The journal is packaged in a recycled gift box.
