This journal is bound in dark blue goatskin. It was designed to resemble a mysterious tome. The decoration was tooled and stamped with gold foil onto the leather, each element at the time. The dark blue contrasting with the antique gold give an overall antique look to this book.
The theme of the notebook is Time and it's cyclic passage, and its representation as a zodiac divided into twelve signs. The eye in the middle is The Eye of Providence, a symbol that represents the divinity watching over humanity. The background was tooled with stars to remind of the celestial world.
The book measures 10.2 x 7.5 inches (26 x 19 cm). It has 114 pages (228 sides) of artist quality paper with parchment finish. This is Favini Laguna paper, hand torn, (180g/m²) and will work for both writing and sketching in any media, including watercolor.
The end pages are made of hand marbled paper, in tones of blue with orange, brown and white veins. The headbands were hand sewn with gold and blue color threads.
This book is great to use as a daily journal, as a grimoire or as a magic book. It would also be perfect for an artist who would fill it up with ink drawings or perhaps tattoo sketches.
