A5 Distressed Olive Leather Foldover Front Journal - Notebook

Rustic A5 (22 x 16cms), genuine leather hand-bound journal/notebook. Inspiration Diary, Dream Recording, Art or Travel Journal.

Made with a stunning olive (almost the colour of eucalyptus leaves), distressed look, genuine leather hide. Bound with black 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 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 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 2 my own original art prints in the first signature flanked by sheets of gold metallic and coloured specialty papers.

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 wrapped and packaged in a recycled gift box.
