The cover of this journal is made of vintage buffalo hide that has been coloured Mahogany Brown with a natural dye.
The cover is hand-embossed with a Wicca Celtic TREEofLIFE design and the journal contains pages of unlined cartridge paper.
Like all my books this journal is entirely handmade.
Size: Cover 6 x 5 inches (15x13cm)
Contains 100 leaves/200 usable sides of cartridge art paper
Weight: 350 grams (approximately 1/2lb)
Quality: - Paper is 150gsm cartridge drawing paper. It is suitable for drawing and sketching, and for writing with pencil, Biro, and gel, and with water-based inks or water colour. It is also suited for a fountain pen.
The paper is bound in individually stitched folios
Binding: is 100% genuine water-buffalo hide, coloured with a natural brown dye. The leather is of a heavy quality, and is thick but supple. The cover is lined with black cloth and machine-stitched for additional strength.
I have similar journals in a wide range of sizes and colours (please take a look at my eBay store). I am always open to new ideas and designs.
All my journals are entirely handmade, and each piece is unique.
I
love working with leather, but for ethical reasons I only use vintage
leather for my books- ie leather from working animals that have come to
the end of their lives.
