I have wanted to create a white leather journal for so long, but true white leather cow hide is very difficult to find. I have sourced kangaroo hide for my white journals. These are Australian tanned from wild sustainable sources and are approved for harvesting by the Department of Environment and Heritage. 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 0.6 - 1mm leather and is very soft and pliable. Of course being natural leather, it will be strong and durable.
A feature of these journals are the inclusion of my own original art prints in the first signature flanked by sheets of specialty papers including one sheet of my own handmade paper using petals from the garden.
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 natural coloured gift box crafted from recycled materials.
